The shareholders who have have stategically fallen in line for more profits. Yes, Eircom

category international | consumer issues | opinion/analysis author Tuesday July 11, 2006 03:15author by Michelle Clarke - Eircom and its sale to Babcock and Brown Report this post to the editors

Who gains from the sale of prime propertiesf around Stephen's Green?

As a person with many disabilities I have spent over three years writing via net for broadband........all I end up is paying for broadband since 2004, then the 1892 account t that ran tadjacent and my own account.......was running up a bill, on the basis that I had no broadbank.
I write emails because I am phone phobic and limited to certain tasks a day otherwise it is confusion and I advised Disability section broadband all about these criteria. Now I am cancelled with aq bill. I lose out on the rent change paid by government.......

All I asked was that a service man put in the equipment as my intellectual abilities make it difficult!!!! But no........Service is Irish style, lots of advertising and no action or no thought. Has anyone else fallent into trap............

Image but without substantiation. I am weary of the over advertising by Eircom. Promises are but false promises and the fact that you have the audacity to produce a page for people with disabilities, astounds me completely.

Since February 04 I have been writing to Eircom, Com-Reg, Minister Dempsey, ODCA; Minister Broughan. the NDA, etc. confirms to me just how inefficient the system is and people are hiding behind hierarchial identities, causes, and the power of broadband and image.

Shame on you all.

People with disabilities have needs. I clearly expressed my needs and yet a file of inept correspondence sees me with a bill of euros 1800, no external line. Add to this that my bank account went into overdraft and expenses and is not yet rectified.

So the take-over is in place and Babcock and Brown will be hungry for profits.....already somebody is selling off prime locations in the city of Dublin.....this is about profit. People are highly dispensable when it comes to profit; as are pension rights.

What fascinates me is that people of all categories and descriptions are your profit base so my question is Why not treat them with Respect and Dignity. Have you ever thought about people in distress as I was last Christmas and the effect of having no phone line........I tend to relate best to the Samaritans in times of need.

A good, efficient, ethical workers is better than a number of the opposite characteristics.

What is it they say about these Corporate Entities - yes asset strippers!!!!!!!

Michelle Clarke
Please Resolve this matter. It is causing considerable damage to my health and sanity.
