Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion

Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

I am sorry, I forgot to mention the stage payments. The Senator is correct that the payments are incremental over the next ten years. Payments continue from year 11 to year 25 as well because we only pay it as customers are connected. There are payments for designing the network, passing the networks and for connections. That is in 110 deployment areas. Some money will be required next year and more the following year. When there is a mass roll-out of 100,000 premises a year, there will be significant subsidies in years three, four and five.
