Even at the high end, it is a manageable amount. That is good to hear.
My next question is for Mr. Hendrick and concerns the board of directors. I note on the website that the board of directors and the members of the board are not listed. It is just the chair - David McCourt - who is listed. I know National Broadband Ireland is a company and not a semi-State body but in the case of semi-State bodies that deliver large pieces of infrastructure such as the ESB or Irish Water, the board of directors would be listed. Could this be done in the interests of transparency given the important investment National Broadband Ireland is making? Is it something National Broadband Ireland could discuss?
