Committee on Budgetary Oversight
National Broadband Plan: Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The Minister's logic is that citizens who are without broadband will benefit. We all understand this and are anxious for them to have it. However, the level of award to this private investor that may flip and sell, compared to the State's investment within a narrow timeline of ten years, is genuinely extraordinary and I speak as somebody who worked as an accountant.
