Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection: National Action Plan on the Development of the Islands: Department of Rural and Community Development (13 Oct 2021)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am very concerned that the past ten years have seen very slow progress for the islands. The officials referenced the interdepartmental committee 23 years ago.

I was the Minister responsible for most of the period from 1997...

Éamon Ó Cuív: If baffles me that there could be a con to putting fibre onto an island. My two questions are how much it would cost and how much the Department would need. Let us get on with it. It is all coming out of the same pot in any event. It is just a question of how to get a mechanism that allows us to get on with the job. I accept that NBI probably does not have a fibre contract for all the...
