Regulator Says It Has No Role In Improving Clare Mobile Coverage
Update: 2025-10-16
Description
The communications regulator claims it has no role in delivering mobile coverage improvements in Clare. Following a proposal from Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle, Clare County Council wrote to the Commission for Communications Regulation requesting it work with providers to enhance coverage in blackspot areas. In response, ComReg says "aside from taking actions to ensure that licencees comply with their coverage obligations", it has no role in this matter, pointing out that this is primarily the responsibility of mobile network providers. Councillor Guilfoyle believes it's a direct result of privatisation.
