National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
Not at the moment. At the moment, Eir is going through this with ComReg in the courts around Eir trying to protect the integrity of its network. This is a product and service that is available in almost all European jurisdictions, including the UK, as operators are allowed to put sub-ducts into existing passive incumbent networks and repair any blockages that are in that duct. Therefore, once we have access to that product or service, it means we can bring forward some of those contractors.
