Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications
Chapter 9 - Remediation of Landfill Sites

9:30 am

Mr. Mark Griffin:

I understand that. There are two issues involved. This is a seven-year programme so it was always going to take time to roll out broadband to different locations in the country. The nature of the way the roll-out is structured means that a location being within a 20-mile radius of a city is not necessarily the driving factor with regard to the timeline for the roll-out of broadband provision to premises in the area. Mr. Mulligan may wish to comment on the specific issue of broadband connection points and what the contract allows with regard to putting more in place over the earlier years of the contract.
