Ms Carolan Lennon:

Mr. Moat requested a meeting with the former Minister, they met and Mr. Moat told him of Eir's decision to pull out. They had met the previous summer because we were approaching the time when we had to submit our invitation to submit detailed solutions, ISDS, and Mr. Moat wanted to put on the record yet again, as Eir officials had been continually doing with the team, that we had some real concerns. Following that meeting, Mr. Moat wrote to the former Minister. In that communication, he was very clear about why Eir pulled out. He also put in the letter that Eir could build the service for a fraction of the cost being talked about.
