Broadband Service Provision: Discussion

Mr. Ronan Lupton:
I said that €136 million was sent to the Exchequer while approximately €32 million was what it cost to operate ComReg in the previous 12 months. That report is available on the website. We have just distilled it down for the purpose of the evidence today. As such, members will see that the industry is paying through a levy order, which is set out in the evidence, a significant amount into the Exchequer and ComReg is funded from that particular money. In effect, we are paying for it. It is not going to be a strain.
