- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: So where is that at the moment?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Where does that link into the 2,500 km?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. Malone is talking about 2,500 km of cable.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: With fibre broadband in the ducting.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: That can be either underground or on the poles.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is the point. That is the 25%.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: So if NBI gets to self-install, it will really only speed up about 25% of the roll-out? Is that correct?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Now, the question is how many poles, on average, are involved in the 2,500 km? If we go up to 50,000 poles, does that increase the number of kilometres covered?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: By what level?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: If NBI is going from point A to point B, for example, from Murroe to Cappamore, which are rural areas in County Limerick, many of these areas would have a combination of underground ducting and overhead cables. I understand the concept of self-install. If NBI can get to self-install, it means that it should be able to significantly speed up 25% of the mix.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: However, is NBI still not restricted in terms of the poles?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: In terms of ducting, how many has Eir said it will do? What is its capacity per annum?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Yes, on the ducting, and on the poles then, it is another 22,000. The point I am trying to make is that in terms of NBI's total capacity in regard to distance in a year, it is 2,500 km of ducting, but typically, how many poles would it be?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: It is only at 22,000 at the moment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: In April 2023, there will be 48,000 poles.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: It is 20,000 at the moment. It will go to 30,000 in October, 48,000 in April 2023 and up to 50,000 poles.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is if NBI can get to that point.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Obviously, if the self-install comes, that will speed up the overall process.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Overall, based on NBI's current capacity with Eir, if nothing changes, how long will it take to reach the target? When does NBI plan to have the full roll-out completed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: When will the seven years be reached?
