National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

10:00 am

Mr. Patrick Neary:

As I said, it is a commercial deployment. It is Eir's strategy and within its own gift to deploy any time it decides. It helped the credibility of Eir's deployment plan that it was actually delivering according to it. Our assessment was on whether it was a credible deployment underpinned by the financials with the technical capability of delivering the service. That was concluded in March 2017.
