The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has raised concerns in regard to impact of the national broadband plan on proposed climate change actions under Project Ireland 2040 in that the Government has not provided a financial pathway for some of the national development plan objectives. Is there a concern that there will be gap in funding because of the Minister's decision to proceed in this area?
