The regulations in question were drafted and approved in the Office of the Attorney General before signature by my predecessor.

As the Deputy will see from the legislative proposals for the Electronic Communications (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill, which are available on my Department's website at www.dcmnr.ie, it is proposed to provide for a civil administrative fines regime in relation to the proposed offence of overcharging.
