O'Reilly refuses to comment on Eircom interest

Businessman, Tony O'Reilly, has said that he is precluded by stock exchange rules from making any comment on his interest in buying Eircom's fixed line business. At today's Waterford Wedgewood AGM, a company chaired by Sir Tony, he refused to answer a series of questions from journalists about his interest in Eircom. When questioning continued, he brought the impromptu press conference to a halt by walking away.
