Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion

Mr. Ciarán Ó hÓbáin:

We will absolutely. The complexity of it is such that the pros change. Some actually remain at the core and we could usefully address that aspect. There was a reappraisal at a point in time when we had a single bidder. I fully accept that it challenges the Department. The question is did it not look at and fundamentally assess it and then, if it was on track, should it have continued with it. The answer is we did. We tend not to come outside the front door to set out what it is we are doing. When we are inside the door, we are absolutely asking ourselves these questions. We will talk through the process. We are confident that it is the right outcome and that the analysis is still right.
