Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

We deal in maximum terms, as Mr. Ó hÓbáin said earlier. We do not want to speculate, but I have said previously that, of the €2.6 billion gross maximum the bidder might get, we would be reasonably optimistic that we would get up to €1 billion off that number over the next ten or 12 years. That would be due to factors such as the bidder achieving savings, uptake being better than expected, the roll-out going as planned or materials and subcontracting coming in on price.
