Thanks mate
So, most the blame for our situation is aimed towards him, no?
btw, DR Philip Nolan? Does that DR stand for Doctor.. or what?

Cheers

Dracula. He is The Count... ONE million... mwah-ha-hah... TWO million... mwah-ha-ha... THREE million... mwah-ha-ha... etc... Alfie Kane was Evil Bert. Ray McSharry was Snuffleupagus' Evil Twin.

But seriously, Philip Nolan is responsible now, but you have to remember that he only took over Eircom recently. It's Alfie Kane and Ray McSharry that put him in the current position. Even Alfie is just a techie nerd by all accounts, it was McSharry pulling the strings. And the ex-civil servant middle managers have a lot to answer for too.

Heheheh Dracula, sounds like a blood sucking fiend actually =/
He doesnt have anything to do with De la rue does he?

Hmm how did he take over Eircom, I'm not too.. I suppose knowledgable about the situation, but Eircom was sold by the goverment as a private company a few years back, no? Was he was the one who purchased it?

You gotta photo of him?
I would like to edit it in a way that makes fun of him

Telecom Eireann was sold in a public offering, however a group of investors, chaired by Tony O'Reilly and backed primarily by George Soros, bought the company out last year, making it private. Philip Nolan was appointed by the Board as Chief Executive.

You gotta photo of him?

Yeah, I carry one around in my wallet.*

*Sarcasm. I'm not that bad.

have a look at this thread to see what a nice gentleman Dr. Nolan is, how honest, accurate and totally committed to providing a decent service for the public he is.
