Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

I might clarify that. The solution we are engaged with here is to rent the poles and the ducts from Eircom. Eircom will not own the fibre cable. That will be within the special purpose vehicle. We will oversee the cable and we will oversee the rental price the special purpose vehicle will charge to the retailers. That will be with the Department. As I said, the contract provides that it will be no more than €30 per month to the retailers.
