By restricting ESB and giving Bord Gais carte blanche the regulator has overseen a dramatic year in which a quarter of domestic households have switched away from ESB. This must have had a severe impact on ESB's bottom line, and at the same time contributed €millions to Bord Gais and Airtricity.
Now that the regulator is going to allow ESB some freedom to look after its customers is it not petulant of John Mullins to complain that he can't compete with ESB!!!:eek:

I suppose he'd strongly object to someone entering the gas market and providing some direct competition to their virtual monopoly (Flogas just aren't making an impact).
