Prime Time
Did anyone else see David McRedmond (Commercial Director fo eircon) get skinned alive on Prime Time last night?
Mark Lyttle, the superb PT interviewer, was asking him to justify the line rental increase in light oif the fact that eircon's capex has been halved since 1999, and they are paying €0.5billion in dividends to their sharelholders - I was shocked by the latter fact.
McRedmond responded by talking about eircon's "value for money" :lol call charges. Lyttle kept reeling him back in to talk about the line rental charges, but he avoid answering the question to the bitter end. I think that was answer enough for me. If a guy is asked to justify something and he doesn't answer the question, it would imply that he cannot justify the increase. QED
Yes, he was brave to do the interview, but answer the question and leave the standard eircon cliches at home! Well done Mark Lyttle!
