Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

Our job is to ensure that the State infrastructure such as the canals, railway lines, roads, is capable of carrying fibre and typically in ducts. We have had discussions with other bodies such as the Office of Public Works and the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform to discuss what can be done within the Garda stations. It is not exclusively restricted to dealing with the NRA but the NRA is the first major-scale response to making ducting available on an open access basis.
