Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

How can the Oireachtas evaluate whether this is an appropriate process and whether we are getting good value for money when, in truth, the Minister's comments earlier were very general? He referred to the merit of broadband, on which no one disagrees, but we have no detail on the sorts of questions I have just asked. What role will there be for Opposition spokespersons during the final stages of the process of assessing some of the technical issues so they can have some sort of understanding as to whether this is a proper deal or not? How does the Minister intend to involve members of the Opposition, although perhaps not in this House, and give them much more detail than they have been able to get in three minutes here today?
