Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications
National Broadband Plan Expenditure and Related Matters

9:30 am

Mr. Peter Hendrick:

Anybody in the intervention area today, regardless of where they live, will see the projected date if they put their Eircode postcode into the website. If they are in an urban area, we are looking at the most economical solution to connect them.

For homes that are being constructed at the moment or that do not have 30 Mbps when the commercial operator said they would, we will get the GeoDirectory update every quarter where new homes come onto the map. Alternatively, they can write to NBI or the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications. Deputies and Senators can come to NBI or the Department and we will assess with the Department whether those premises should be in the intervention area or not.
