After Joe Duffy now this:
quote from yesterday's Irish Times:
"It has been a baptism of fire for the new chairman of the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg), John Doherty, in the first few weeks of his tenure.
Eircom's decision to hike line rental for the third time in a year should have been seen coming by the State's first regulatory watchdog. And the monopoly's price hike in the cost of its pensioner's scheme rubbed further salt into the wounds of ComReg.
The impression that the regulator had its "eye off the ball", so eloquently voiced by Joe Duffy on RTE radio, will not have gone unnoticed by the politicos in Fianna Fail and the PDs, who are responsible for flogging the State's telecoms infrastructure.
It was perhaps ironic that the Governments new white paper on better regulation was published this week and raised the question of merging regulators. But the idea - already a reality in Britain with OFCOM - may well be considered by the "chattering classes" in Leinster House now.
And Mr Doherty's month isn't getting any better with the news that a website lampooning "Com-wreck" is up an running.
The site can be viewed at: www.comwreck.com/doherty.html . But be quick. Rumour has it that the new communications czar may move to shut it down!"
And as if that wasn't enough, along comes this post card:
