Granahan McCourt is the entity behind Enet. Enet was involved in the roll out of broadband in the metropolitan area networks, MANs, of which there are 94 in the country. The original contract was up to 2019 but in 2017 it was extended to 2030 without a tender. Another entity was looking to tender for the contract, prior to it being rolled over. Essentially, I am asking if value for money was obtained from rolling it over to 2030, particularly when three or four months later a State entity purchased a more lucrative contract. That is the net point.
