- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: In essence, those providers can be given a slap on the wrist and told they have been bad boys or girls but ComReg has no power to penalise them. Are the providers legally obliged to have a charter in place?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: Ordinary consumers are looking at ComReg. They are on the phone night and day. Joe Duffy's "Liveline" programme on RTÉ has spent hours on the issue. Consumers will look with incredulity on the fact that the body that regulates the area has only one case pending. I assume that case is against a mobile service provider. Is it?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Is that case against a mobile service provider? No. Is it against a telephone provider?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: In essence, there is no case of any kind before the courts at the moment that ComReg, the regulator, has taken against any mobile service provider when the issue is taking up enormous amounts of man-hours on various programmes, including Joe Duffy's programme? Mr. Mourik would have to admit we have a problem.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Communications Regulation (Enforcement) Bill: Discussion (23 Feb 2022)
