We have sought quarterly updates from the Department. It is aware of the matter. With regard to sanctions, the second part of the letter mentions that for the non-achievement of network builds and associated milestones within the time limit determined in the contract the delay payment arising can only be calculated once the respective milestone is complete. It states that in the event of the non-achievement of performance targets for operating and maintaining the network, financial sanctions will be imposed by way of reduction of future subsidy payments due to National Broadband Ireland. I take it from this that a sanction has not been imposed, but we will seek clarification.
