Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Mark Griffin:

I know we have buried the committee members under a lot of material. It is not so much the complexity as the needs and the obligations set out in the contract. There are a few key points which must be drawn out. They make clear why the approach taken to the 300,000 rural homes would not work in the national broadband plan, NBP, intervention area. There are about half a dozen things that are worth mentioning in that regard. They are important.
