    The regulator paid out bonuses of almost €725,000 last year as well as €786,000 in 2012, €786,000 in 2011 and €744,000 in 2010. Another €690,000 in bonus payments were made in 2009. ComReg employed 122 staff when these bonuses were paid in 2013, which works out at an average of almost €6,000 per person.

    ComReg, chaired by Kevin O'Brien, is funded by a levy on the telecoms and communications industry, which passes costs on to consumers. Irish customers pay some of the highest mobile-phone bills in Europe. Last year, OECD figures showed that Irish people paid 36 per cent more than the EU average for making calls. Ireland is the fifth most expensive out of 21 countries surveyed by the OECD for a basket of prepaid calls.

    What do they need 122 staff for?
    There are I think only 6 or 7 Engineers on the Road.

    Engineers cost money so contribute nothing to the main functions of Comreg which is "liberating" money from telcos and then paying themselves handsomely meanwhile the consumers of Ireland fund these shenanigans.

    CRC model replicated where the charity is enforced by law in the form of massive bills?
