Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Professor Eoin Reeves:

I will do my best to answer some of the Senator's earlier questions. I am not sure I will answer every single one of them. In our briefing note, we discussed other PPPs like schools, roads and so on. The real reason for bringing them into our discussion was that in those cases, as the Senator knows, ownership is handed over to the State at the end of the contractual period.
