		Telecom Éireann is a State company which has attained its worth and status on the international and domestic market through hard work by its employees, the taxpayer and retired people.
		If Telecom Éireann grants options to its executives, does not perform well and is then taken over as it is vulnerable to take-over when its performance is not good, the people who benefit most will be the executives who have not performed very well as the share price increases in the event of a take-over.
		I listened to the executives of Telecom Éireann talking about the distribution of shares and how the workers were entitled to them as they had built up the company, given it its strength and made it so valuable.

		Competition already exists in the market for the supply of telecommunications terminal equipment in as much as suppliers of such equipment are licensed to compete with Telecom Éireann and their subsidiary, Telecom Éireann Information Services Ltd., for the supply, installation and maintenance of all terminal equipment except for telephone hand sets.
		In relation to competition, Telecom Éireann are doing an excellent job and I intend to encourage them to broaden [959] their scope rather than to cut back on their monopoly.
		In relation to the question of competition, Telecom Éireann have the rights up to the door of the premises but inside the premises in many cases they are facing competition and are responding to it through their Telecom information services.

	Ennis Information Age Town Press Clippings - Irish Times, Thurs, 16th Oct 1997
		At stake was a £15 million investment by Telecom Éireann in providing state-of-the-art communications technology in every home and business in the selected town, bringing it rapidly into an Information Age where many of the functions now requiring physical contact and personal travel can be conducted via the telephone using voicemail or personal computers.
		The 46 towns that made submissions to Telecom Éireann all possessed these qualities in one degree or other, but common to all was an enthusiasm and commitment for the project at all levels.
		The result of that progress, incorporated in Telecom Éireann’s long term plans and day-to-day functions, will ultimately be to help the rest of us adapt to the Information Age, embrace its beneficent technology, and enable this State to take its proper place in the real and virtual worlds of the new millennium.

	guichett - 31997D0114 -
		At this date the debt/equity ratio of Telecom Eireann will thus not be out of line with those of operators in countries which will open their market to competition, for example the debt/equity ratios of Deutsche Telekom and Belgacom in 1995 were (14) respectively 2,5 and 1,4.
		As a matter of fact, since the main cable TV network in Ireland is controlled by Telecom Eireann, the ability of new entrants to compete fully from 1 January 2000 would be compromised in the absence of sufficient time to extend their network also in the 'local loop`.
		Whereas Telecom Eireann could use its own infrastructure to provide such services, competitors providing global liberalized services, such as VPN or voice services to closed user groups, would thus be obliged to rely only on circuits leased from the operator they want to compete with.

		The Commissioner considered this case distinguishable in light of (1) the age of the tender (at five years old, it was more historic than those previously considered) and (2) the circumstances of the Telecom Eireann flotation, particularly the impact on the public and the fees received by the advisors.
		The Commissioner accepted that some of the information in the tender pertaining to the successful tenderer's approach to and understanding of the project was commercially sensitive within the meaning of section 27(1)(b), but for a different reason than that put forward by the successful tenderer in its submission.
		She found that the tender records should be released in full to satisfy the strong public interest in openness and accountability in relation to the Telecom Eireann flotation.
