Eir should share some of the costs of putting up the fibre. While some of the customers might be Eir's own broadband customers, others may not necessarily be its customers. The full cost should not fall. Somebody has to work out the sharing of that fibre and who is going to benefit. If Eir is a beneficiary, unconnected with the provision of the national broadband plan, it should share a portion of the cost. How has the Department worked that out?
