The Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) is the statutory body responsible for the regulation of the electronic communications and postal sectors. 
 
Participation at the Ideal Homes Exhibition was part of an ongoing initiative by ComReg to provide consumers with information and advice on various telecommunications and postal issues that are of concern to them.

Whether it was assistance in resolving a dispute with a service provider or simply seeking information ComReg offered impartial and independent advice, which protects consumers and helps to promote awareness of consumer issues.

• In October 2008 ComReg held a further one-day clinic in the Houses of the Oireachtas again focusing on demonstrating www.callcosts.ie and showing members and staff how to evaluate their communications costs and compare packages for their needs.

In September 2008, ComReg held consumer clinics at a number of libraries throughout the country.  The initiative was to provide consumers with information and advice on various telecommunications and postal issues.  Libraries that hosted the events were Watch House Cross in Limerick, the Aidan Heavey Public Library in Athlone Civic Centre, WexfordTown library and the CountyLibrary at County Hall Tallaght.  Following these events the libraries offered free access to ComReg’s consumer website (www.askcomreg.ie) and price comparison information via our interactive website (www.callcosts.ie).
