Cullen in spat with eircom boss

COMMUNICATIONS Minister Martin Cullen publicly rebuked Dr Phil Nolan of eircom at the IMI conference in Druids Glen, Co Wicklow, yesterday.

The eircom chief executive claimed the privatised group has delivered broadband to the nation, a claim with which Mr Cullen sharply disagreed.

When Dr Nolan made the claim Mr Cullen interjected and said the company only got up off of its “a..e” when the Government, through ComReg, created more competition for eircom in the market.
