Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion

Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

As to what are the pros now that we have a single bidder, it goes back to the shared risk and whatever model one would have chosen. It has been a long road since 2015 since when there have been many changes. As Mr. Ó hÓbáin said, we engaged KPMG and Analysys Mason. The minute Eircom left the process, the team went into the room to look at the options available across the board. They included stopping or starting.
