The State’s telecom regulator has said it is reviewing its long-term relationship with Evros Technology, the IT services provider that Eir plans to buy for €80m. 

The move comes as the proposed takeover creates the potential for a conflict of interest as Evros provides IT services to ComReg, which in turn regulates Eir.
