Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: National Broadband Plan (9 Apr 2019)

Michael Moynihan: I have two questions. First, have Government officials met Eir to discuss the issue of inflexibility in areas in which it is currently expanding the broadband network? In communities with only two, three or four houses it makes common sense to tell Eir that the fibre cable is passing them and ask why it cannot connect them to it. In the case of some of the communities it is serving, if...
