Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

In a one-word answer, how much is the second phase of MANs expected to cost? While the Minister is looking for the figure, I will make one or two other points in the form of questions.

The Minister's record on broadband has not been covered in glory since he took charge. Since his previous Question Time, the Minister has effectively bailed out the Greener Homes scheme with €10 million he took from the broadband roll-out capital budget for next year. Will the Minister inform the House of how much he anticipates the second phase of MANs will cost? The previous Minister gave the House a figure in a commitment in March. Is €10 million missing from the figure?
