The Commission for Communications Regulation

The Commission for Communications Regulation regulates communications in Ireland across nearly the full range of communications services. When it was set up, the functions of the Director of Telecommunications Regulation moved to the Commission and that office was dissolved.

It was established on 1 December 2002. Section 6 of the Communications Regulation Act 2002 created the Commission on the establishment day, and S.I. No. 510 of 2002 appointed that day.

2391 spending records on file.

How to read these figures

These are reported values from published purchase order and payment records — not verified cash paid, and not total spending by this organisation. A row may be a purchase order, a payment, or another reported transaction; the source files often do not say which.

Coverage and quality vary. Some fields are blank, supplier names are free text (the same firm can appear under many labels), and descriptions are inconsistent rather than a controlled taxonomy. An amount alone says nothing about value for money and it may or may not include VAT.

Records are retrieved from each organisation’s published files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, and other formats of uneven quality. Extraction techniques (including automated parsing) can introduce gaps, misreads, or incomplete rows when source layout or quality is poor. Treat the data as a starting point for investigation, not a definitive ledger.
