Public Accounts Committee

Imagine Communications Group

Mr. Sean Bolger:

Can I address that? We are not looking for anything. All we are doing is coming in to the market. We think the national broadband plan should go ahead. They should make sure that we deliver on it. I ask that people be careful because some of the conversation is about "Eir is doing this" and "Imagine is doing that". The bottom line is that we have to prove that we can do it. Right now, the important thing for the national broadband plan is to make sure that we do it and that it should go ahead. The most efficient way to do it is in a two-phased approach. If one concentrates on fibre backhaul we will do our job and connect the homes. If we do not, then the rest of the homes can still be connected: it is fine. We are not looking for anything and we are not selling anything. We will have to sell to our customers, which, in fairness, is what we do.
