	Commission for Communications Regulation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) is the general communications regulator for the Republic of Ireland, covering almost all possible types of communications.
		Under the Communications (Regulation) Act 2002, the Minister for Communications, Marine, and Natural Resources appoints the chairperson and up to two other commissioners of ComReg.
		In relations to terrestrial television and radio, the commission acts in conjunction with the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland, which grants programme contracts to radio and television stations, other than those operated by RTÉ which currently includes TG4, leaving only TV3 under its control.

		Also in May 2003, the Irish regulator, newly named the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg), issued a lengthy paper on fees for authorizations in the electronic communications field generally.
