Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion

Mr. Robert Mourik:

I fully understand and I ask Mr. Leavy to go into some of the detail of the cost but I wish to stress one thing.

Even though I understand that the taxpayer must pay money, we have to maintain a strict neutrality on whoever the buyer is, regardless of whether it is another private company or NBI that gets a subsidy. We try to the best of our capability to come up with the rate, according to an international methodology, of what actual price Eir can charge. Mr. Leavy can clarify some of the elements.
