Report on Procurement Process Audit of National Broadband Plan: Statements (4 Dec 2018)

Paul Murphy: The Minister might answer that question about the role of Mr. Denis O'Brien.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (Supplementary) (4 Dec 2018)
