Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

National Broadband Plan for Ireland: Discussion

11:15 am

Mr. Aidan Dunning:

No. What I meant in that respect is that we have a contract with Exchequer funding with 3 whereby we subvent the scheme to a degree to allow provision in those electoral districts. My understanding is that other operators can go into those electoral districts now and offer an alternative provision. We cannot do so. The Exchequer cannot subsidise that provision.
