Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland

Mr. Peter Hendrick:

We are looking at wireless technology with one supplier for providing connectivity.

Again, we have to consider this in the long term. It might be an easy fix today in terms of providing connectivity but in the long term, through a lifetime of 25 years, the availability of bandwidth as demand grows and the cost of operating that may mean that it makes sense for us to deliver fibre to those premises. It is a balancing act but it is certainly something on which we are actively engaged right now.
