Dr. Dónal Palcic:

The Department's own budget model assumed that would be the case. Effectively what we want to know, and should be told, is what were the comparative cost of not deploying a parallel fibre network in a fairly extensive area. There is a big timeframe to do that and there is a big cost to do that. That is a lot of capital expenditure. What was the comparative cost of renting or using Eir's active product?
