Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion

Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

This applies in any tender process. We are not doing anything different from normal tender processes. Under the tender process, the company had to get through the gateposts. It had to meet significant requirements in terms of the financial support and whatever else it had to provide in terms of guarantees that the money would be in place before a contract was signed by the Minister. Then, when a contract is signed, the money will be in a bank and will be absolutely contracted before the Minister has to sign the contract.
