Doyle quits as telecom regulator

THE most powerful figure in the telecommunications industry, Etain Doyle, is to step down as telecom regulator

During her controversial six-year term, the ComReg chairperson attracted the wrath of the industry and politicians. Twelve writs were issued against her office but, in the end, ComReg triumphed, with most of the cases settled.

Hampered by lack of legislation, Ms Doyle also had several run-ins with the Government, including the contentious issue of securing a pension at 52, due in June of next year.
