Mr. Ken Cleary:

I am happy to respond to that. I do not think it is a question of standing over it. Those were the views that were expressed at the time by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The Chairman has articulated them very clearly. The views are all published on the Department's website as part of the suite of material that the Government published around the time of the national broadband plan. The Chairman has accurately articulated the views of the Department, and those were views that were presented to the Government at the time, but the Government decided to proceed with the national broadband plan. I suppose it is a question of implementation now. The views expressed at the time were those views.
