This is a huge spend of public money - €2.7 billion for the overall scheme. In terms of security for the future investment, can the witnesses explain the Eir infrastructure? Eir is a private entity and eight out of ten members on the board of NBI represent a private entity. From a public spending point of view, are there risks around access to the infrastructure that is owned by Eir at any point during the 25 years or after the 25 years? How is that guaranteed?
