Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister and thank him for his comments to the wider committee for the work done on climate change. The Minister has had an opportunity since taking office to look at where the situation with the national broadband plan now rests. When he looks back at how we got to the position we are in, does he have any concerns about the tendering process and the competitive dialogue...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I accept most of what the Minister has said. The gap-funding model was the right decision with the information that was available at the time. However, is it not clear that as the circumstances changed dramatically when both SIRO and Eir pulled out, there should have been a review at that stage? The Government resisted all efforts by the Opposition to have a review at that stage because it...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I will bring the section to a conclusion because we could spend all day discussing it. What I and most other people are trying to understand is why the two largest bidders, SIRO and Eir, which have the greatest assets on the ground, pulled out. Has the Minister sought to understand why they did so? Would he give any consideration to the charge that they pulled out because they were of the...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (Further Revised) (2 Apr 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Looking at the Estimates generally and under various different subheads, I am sure they are compiled in this way with the exception of there being some major project or capital investment. They are generally 5% or 10% up or down on the previous year. It is the general way things have gone. I am not asking the Minister to look into the crystal ball for the next set of Estimates at which we...

Timmy Dooley: My concern was that it be technology-neutral but not the lowest price. That is important. There is nascent technology out there and if we are to try to become an industry leader or have some capacity to get ahead of the rest, it is really important that we try at this early stage to get some advantage in the offshore space. I accept that it is eight to ten years out but if we look at what...
