Kieran O'Donnell: Why not?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: There is no way that NBI could link into the likes of the Eir network.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The benefit of that is that it would expedite the roll-out of fibre broadband to rural houses in village settings.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Where is that? That is a conduit to getting the roll-out of fibre broadband to those gap intervention areas which I would describe as amber areas alongside the existing fibre networks in rural areas. Where is NBI at in terms of agreeing that backhaul piece with the likes of Eir? In effect, Eir is the company which already has a fibre network rolled out in rural areas.

Kieran O'Donnell: When NBI speaks about capacity, in layman's terms what does that mean?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is in terms of the overall contract.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Where is that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Is Eir doing that submission to the regulator in partnership with NBI?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: In terms of NBI's discussions with Eir and the self-install, is NBI at a point where Eir is agreeable to allow NBI to do it subject to------
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Is ComReg taking Eir to court on that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: The regulator is supportive of what NBI is proposing.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: If that came to pass, would it speed up the roll-out significantly?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: If the courts find in ComReg's favour, is Eir then required to do a deal with NBI on that self-install?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: NBI would have to apply to the regulator for that product.

Kieran O'Donnell: If it comes to pass that an accommodation is found whereby NBI can self-install and that will speed up the roll-out, does Mr. Malone see that this will in any way assist NBI with being able to get backhaul into the existing Eir network to allow NBI to expedite the roll-out of fibre broadband to those gap intervention areas that are alongside existing areas in rural Ireland? It is simple.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Correct.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: People are going online and finding out they must wait. People in areas in County Limerick such as Lisnagry are being told they will be waiting three or four years. Will NBI be updating its system to say when they will get it? The final point for me is whether an opportunity will be provided in gap intervention areas if this self-install comes. I know it will expedite the roll-out. In...

Kieran O'Donnell: Is linking into the existing Eir fibre network in these rural areas an option?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
