Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Broadband Plan Roll-out: Discussion

Mr. Peter Hendrick:

I will hand over to my colleague, Mr. T.J. Malone, who will give a more detailed update on the build programme. In any project when one lays out one's plan for a programme, one builds in what risks there are and the implications of risks. Every day we have to mitigate against some of those risks to ensure we deliver on our milestones. I am happy to state that we will deliver on our milestones and we are confident we will continue to deliver on them with the objective of accelerating.

In terms of the overall cost of the programme, with what we are seeing with the programme as it stands, we are confident of coming under the original budget of the programme. We do not see any significant increase in costs as the programme is developing today. I will ask Mr. Malone give a more detailed update on the build programme.
