Electronic Communications
Strategy 2023 – 2025
The electronic communications sector plays a vital role in supporting consumers and businesses to live, work and communicate.
Competition and Investment
Over the past five years, end-users in Ireland have benefited from access to new networks offering high-speed data communications both at fixed locations and on the move. Regulation has been a critical factor in enabling the environment in which these investments have occurred.

Strategic Framework
Compliance and Enforcement
ComReg’s view is that a strong and effective deterrence regime and regulatory powers helps develop a positive culture of compliance within the electronic communications sector.
We continuously monitor the application of regulatory obligations to ensure markets develop properly and seek to take targeted enforcement action in a way that maximises the effectiveness of the regulatory regime.
