Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: The Department launched a procurement process in December 2015. Did it have some sort of timeframe at that point to get shovels into the ground? Mr. Ó hÓbáin has overall responsibility for the tender process. Given that it started in the middle of 2014 and procurement was launched in December 2015, but that it will now be the end of 2018 before we get a preferred bidder and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: My question was on when this was initiated as a Government policy and when it will be concluded. Is Mr. Ó hÓbáin, as a senior civil servant, happy that there has been maximum efficiency in the context of the time lag? Is it appropriate for it to take three and a half years, perhaps four, from the time the Government took the policy decision? At this stage there is only an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I do not want to nitpick but someone who lives in one of the intervention areas - and is part of the 542,000 who do not have high-speed broadband - is not going to understand how Mr. Ó hÓbáin can say it is being well managed. The Department may be dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's but it does not seem to me to be an efficient process. I am sure there is no...

Timmy Dooley: I ask Mr. Mulligan to be specific.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. Mulligan for the clarification. Does he not accept then that just having one bidder puts the Department on the back foot? If Mr. Mulligan were negotiating with two or three bidders, it would be clear that everybody was going to make the best effort. With one company on its own, it can say that is the best timeline or that is the best price it can do or this is the earliest it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: 2020 Climate and Energy Package: Discussion (27 Feb 2018)

He is a loss to his family and friends but he is also a significant loss to this industry. He was a pioneer,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: 2020 Climate and Energy Package: Discussion (27 Feb 2018)

Timmy Dooley: What we really need is great infrastructure along or connected to the western seaboard to make this possible.

The witness seems to be saying we need to look at connecting to a resource that is already there for which the technologies are advancing and developing?
