Mr. Peter Smyth:

To be clear, the broadband process was discussed at the meeting because the Minister sought an assurance from Mr. McCourt that the entities would continue in the process. The Minister was not going to go into the Dáil and say that we still had a live process only for Granahan McCourt to pull out immediately after he made that public statement. I did not say that the broadband plan was not discussed at the meeting. It specifically discussed whether Granahan McCourt and the consortium were committed to continuing with the process.
