Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Act 2000 (Section 254 – Overground Telecommunication Cables) Regulations 2021: Motion (14 Jul 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: Is additional guidance been given in respect of road opening licences? I am aware that up until recent years mistakes have been made and that, ultimately, the public has borne the cost. This is a matter for local authorities in terms of the operation and granting of licences. At this level, can additional guidance be provided to try to reinforce those points?

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank the Minister of State and his officials for coming before the committee. I am very supportive of everything that can be done to support the roll-out of broadband.

It is important that there has been a significant critique of this aspect of the Bill, both from the perspective of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and also a significant critique on it in the UK.

Cian O'Callaghan: I agree with Deputy Ó Broin that price premium and price inflation have been conflated and they are very different things. The Department might provide us with a short note citing the source for the comments made about price inflation, as opposed to price premium. Everything I read in the audit committee report was about price premiums. If that could be done it would bring this to a...
