- National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)
Eamon Ryan: There is but one simple thought to put to the Minister as we enter the final process. We did not vote to delay the process, but this needs to be done. I have one question to put to the Minister. The fundamental principle, in thinking 20, 30 or 40 years ahead-----

Eamon Ryan: Two wires will be put into every house. It may make sense for us to pick one of those wires, probably the electricity wire, and say it is the connection point.
- National Broadband Procurement Process: Statements (Resumed) (15 Feb 2018)
Eamon Ryan: The final decision should reflect the fact that the enet-SSE group has expertise in the provision of electricity wires. It may make sense to make a decision to go with the electricity rather than the telephone wire as a point of entry. The reasoning is simple. Why would we support the provision of two wires, two poles and two systems?

Eamon Ryan: That is the same no nothing answer the Minister gave me a year ago. I am clear on what the Minister is saying; it is not going to happen.

Eamon Ryan: The Minister will spend €4 billion on roads in the next four years. He is bankrupting the country now because the traffic system in this city is grinding to a halt. He is the Minister for transport today. He should stand up to that responsibility in a country where we do have budgets. I heard European Investment Bank, EIB, representatives tell the Committee on Budgetary Oversight...

Eamon Ryan: He should stand up to that failure today. His key failing is that he does not believe in public transport. He does not believe in walking, cycling or any such mode of transport. All he wants to do is spend on roads. He has given no money to the cities-----
