Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

Our role is to make sure that the commercial sector is able to deliver everything that is commercially viable and that, when there is a failure in the market, the Government has a plan to address that failure. The Government is saying that that plan will deliver a speed of 30 Mbps to all the places in Ireland which are not covered by the commercial sector on the basis of commercial investment. As we said to Deputy McEntee, once that plan is deployed, if operators using that network were then to make a promise to consumers that they will get speeds of at least 30 Mbps, it would be up to us, through the operation of consumer law and the provisions referred to by Mr. Fahy, to take action if those promises are not delivered under the general regulatory regime, just as we would in any other part of Ireland if a promise was not being delivered.
