Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister's recognition that the national broadband scheme was just a basic scheme. It has ensured that a wide swathe of the country without service has received service. However, I am perplexed that the Minister has become a great proponent of the liberal private sector in his conversion to liberal economics. I would have thought the Minister would have set a national minimum standard to which everyone would have had access.
