Update on National Broadband Plan: National Broadband Ireland (15 Sep 2021) Kieran O'Donnell: Could I just clarify one point? Does the planning permission issue with local authorities account for much of the delay in the roll-out to date? Would it make sense for local authorities to set up dedicated units to deal exclusively with these matters? I presume NBI is seeking road opening licences. That all falls under that category. How big of a component of the delay in the roll-out...

Update on National Broadband Plan: National Broadband Ireland (15 Sep 2021) Kieran O'Donnell: Great. I welcome that. May I have clarification on a couple of points? They involve a bit of detail. The target for the end of the year was 115,000 and it was said that NBI will do about 70,000 to 100,000 every year thereafter. Is NBI still on target to meet the 70,000 to 100,000 from 2022 onwards? What is its rough target for those years?

Update on National Broadband Plan: National Broadband Ireland (15 Sep 2021) Kieran O'Donnell: Let us say that a constituent of mine has a number and that it is going up on NBI's system now. I referred earlier to somewhere in Lisnagry. Is NBI quite near the city? Is it, say, beside University of Limerick in Castletroy? They are being told they will get roll-out of broadband. That is an intervention area between January 2025 and December 2026. That is three to four years away....

Update on National Broadband Plan: National Broadband Ireland (15 Sep 2021) Kieran O'Donnell: When will we get an idea of whether NBI is bringing the timeframe back? Is the intention to bring it back to five years? I am not saying it is achievable but is that the target?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Business of Joint Committee
Update on National Broadband Plan: National Broadband Ireland (15 Sep 2021) Kieran O'Donnell: When will NBI know that? When does Mr. Malone anticipate NBI will be able to give clarity around bringing back the timeframe?

Update on National Broadband Plan: National Broadband Ireland (15 Sep 2021) Kieran O'Donnell: Is it correct that the financial aspect of the contract for the roll-out of broadband was based on a 60% take-up by customers? What has been the take-up to date? What does NBI believe the take-up will be? If take-up is less than 60%, could there be an additional cost to the State? I know it is a fixed-price contract and there has been great work on the ground, but the committee also has a...
