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. Mark Griffin:

One must consider it from the perspective of what rural Ireland might look like in 25 years and how it links into the work of the Joint Committee on Climate Action, such as reduced commuting. Multinationals coming into the State are absolutely open to people working from home once they have the right infrastructure. That leads to a reduction in commutes and the associated frustrations and difficulties for families and children. One must consider the social dividend of that.
