Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland

Mr. Peter Hendrick:

It is the first time we have come in and been able to say what we have achieved in numbers. We have forward confidence in the numbers ahead. It gives us, as an organisation, a lot of confidence, as it does our customers, customers being the retail operators and end users. We can with more certainty predict the numbers and, concerning the risks we have had over the past 18 to 24 months, we know what they are and how to mitigate them. There will be constant management of that. The more volume we can get in the process in terms of make-ready, the better it is. We are forward-buying materials to make sure we do not have supply chain risks. There are risks out there in terms of materials and supply chain so we are buying ahead to make sure we have it in.
