Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Matt Yardley:

As I said earlier, there were many reasons why the bidder was concerned about committing to that in the bid. I do not think, again, that there is any reason why that could not be reconsidered. All I was describing was the reason why the cost went up as shown from our internal costing work. If there is any potential to reduce costs, then of course everyone is incentivised to try to do that.
