Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland

Mr. T.J. Malone:

It could be improved. There is absolutely room for improvement, Ms Fisher is working with us, on the same committee as me in this regard. Now that we have a number of them up, we can work with the local authorities perhaps to reduce the distance that is needed in certain locations, as Deputy O'Rourke said, in the context of speed. We would have an offset depending on the speed in the zone we are in, but at a particular point or place, traffic might never travel at that speed, such as in an 80 km zone.
