- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2019)
Joe O'Reilly: It would hardly want to walk away from a good product. Nobody is going to want to do that with an asset of this value. If the operator does want to walk away, it cannot flip the asset under the contract. Assuming that after a set number of years it could flip it, the company buying it would have a commercial imperative and an imperative to its bank to keep it going. One could make the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2019)
Joe O'Reilly: This will be my concluding question or comment. Given the number of unknowns and variables, including the vagueness, which is reasonable in some respects, around the asset's value after 25 years, the likely uptake, and whether the asset will be stress tested or worn out by the company, is it not too emphatic for Professor Reeves to say that "the procurement approach adopted has not satisfied...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (19 Jun 2019)
Joe O'Reilly: I will ask a brief question before we abandon this. A great deal of the information has come out.

Have they evaluated that model in terms of the cost inputs required to reach the sector of the community that we are trying to reach, the longevity of maintenance and so on? Have the...

Joe O'Reilly: I welcome our guests and thank them for attending. As I was attending another meeting, I apologise if I raise something that was painstakingly dealt with.

I come from County Cavan where it is particularly serious and already depressing the local...
- Joint Standing Committee on the Irish Language, the Gaeltacht and the Islands: Polasaí don Oideachas Gaeltachta 2017-2022: Plé (18 Jun 2019)
Joe O'Reilly: Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe. Is dea-scéal é go bhfuil an scéim aitheantais scoileanna Gaeltachta ag feabhsú an chaighdeáin agus ag déanamh forbairt mhaith ar an Ghaeilge agus ar labhairt na teanga.
