Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Business of Joint Committee
Update on National Broadband Plan: National Broadband Ireland

Mr. Peter Hendrick:

We are giving an example of the circumstances involving just one contractor and the significant impact it experienced in the last year. However, it was not only that one contractor that was affected. The other contractor was also affected but not on the same scale. Equally, all our partners and supply chains were impacted in the last year. We are just giving an example of the impact on one specific contractor, that had 60% of the workload, to give an idea of the overall scale of the impacts experienced in this context.
