BT Ireland (14 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: If we ask a question that is obvious to Mr. O'Dwyer, so be it, but the public might not be as well up on this as he is. Is BT regulated by ComReg?

BT Ireland (14 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: I have one last question so I understand what it being said here before Deputy MacSharry comes in.
