An official from the EU Commission was steered off (by the chair of the Monitoring Committee) asking "rude" questions of the Dept Communications (And Whatever is Added to it These Days) about Eircom and the slow roll-out of broadband. The Commission official was allowed to "probe" the slow (<i>read</i>: "non") implementation of the Dept's programme (little to no interest in take up by communities was the reason given, if my memory serves me correctly) but once Eircom's performance was mentioned, it was pointed out that such issues really lay with the competition regulators and not the Department.
