Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The statistics and numbers that the Taoiseach has outlined are a result of the commercial decisions of a number of operators in this State, with no reference whatsoever to his Government. He has identified 500,000 premises in the State which are to be covered with State support under the national broadband plan. Will the Taoiseach tell the House when he intends to issue a contract for this work to be done, what the start date will be for the work and when he expects that it will be completed? Will he desist from taking credit on behalf of the State for the work of private companies?
