CCPC Clears Speed Fibre Group’s Acquisition of BT Ireland Assets

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (the CCPC) has approved Speed Fibre Group’s acquisition of certain assets from BT Communication Ireland following a Phase 1 review. The deal includes BT’s fibre network, over 400 customers, and associated teams supporting wholesale and business enterprises.

Following its Phase 1 review, the CCPC formed the view that the transaction will not lead to a substantial lessening of competition in any market in Ireland.

Frontier Economics advised Speed Fibre Group on the CCPC’s competition assessment of the transaction.
