Priority Questions: North-South Interconnector (9 May 2017)

Timmy Dooley: I have had an opportunity to review the document and, in fairness, the Minister did give me advance notice of it.

It does not include the requirement as set out in the motion that was passed by this House on 16 February to "evaluate the...

Priority Questions: North-South Interconnector (9 May 2017)

Timmy Dooley: Eir is doing that. That is the subject of a commercial decision by a contractor who talked about this in 2015. The Government argued the toss and procrastinated - during a period when Deputy Naughten was and was not the Minister - and it sought a commitment that Eir was going to do it. This allowed the Government to take those 300,000 premises out from the bundle to be funded through State...

Priority Questions: National Broadband Plan (9 May 2017)

Timmy Dooley: I carry no torch for Eir, but it is a little bit rich of the Minister to criticise Eir or any commercial company for their inability to deliver on commitments. This has been at the Government's door - a Government that the Minister is part of - since 2012. At that stage high-speed broadband was supposed to have been rolled out within three years. We are now in 2017 and a tender has not...
