Eamonn Ryan's answer was by far the most radical of all: "Eamonn Ryan, Green Party: encourage competition between cable, mobile and fixed line providers. Encourage more competition between the three. If that doesn’t work, buy the network back! When Miriam O’Callaghan asked how much that would cost, he said €2 billion. It would be a good investment." So I wonder if eircom are shaking in their shoes this morning - or is that one of the more lofty Green policies that will be watered down.

They are, after all, perceived as more <i>greeny</i> than Comms. Oh, and that prat Dempsey is still in cabinet! And worse, Cullen's there too. Well, I suppose we should be thankful for small mercies.

I'm a bit more confident about the broadband situation now and I hope they can leave their mark on the country for the better.
