John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I would appreciate it if the Minister could relay to the commission our concerns that this should be done in a timely manner. There is no obvious competition in the market and prices are not transparent. I live in a Dublin suburb and I can see competition in providing broadband, estate agent services and energy suppliers. Nobody is knocking on my door asking me if I want to change my waste collection company. It is simply not happening. The anecdotal evidence is in abundance that there is not significant competition in this market.

Before the commission can finish its full report, I believe an interim report, particularly on the Dublin market, would be very useful at this stage.
