Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
They answer is they are not. If Mr. T.J. Malone has done all the designs and he has 50 designers who potentially he will make redundant, the question is whether there is another project they could do, not for the NBI but where they could be employed by somebody else to add value to another project. That is one part of it. The other side of it is this, as we understand all the risks in terms of construction, take-up and technology, it is an appropriate time to bring in a partner who is like-minded with respect to long-term investment in infrastructure provided like this.
