Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Roll-out and Delivery of Broadband in Rural Areas: Discussion
Mr. Kevin O'Donoghue:
It depends on what the specific query is. As Mr. Mulligan pointed out earlier, one of the ones we were looking at recently was the bridge in Valentia, which is a swing bridge. How do we engage with the local authority to allow the cable to go across the bridge but in such a way that the bridge can open in the event that the local authority needs to do that? That is a slower process. It is a different engagement. It is a specific issue. There are one or two of them that crop up for special areas of conservation or if they are archaeological sites of interest that they want us to get involved with to look at the map overlays. Maybe we have to move some of the design or whatever else, but they are very limited specific instances where that is happening at the moment.
