Kieran O'Donnell: However, is NBI still not restricted in terms of the poles?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: In terms of ducting, how many has Eir said it will do? What is its capacity per annum?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Yes, on the ducting, and on the poles then, it is another 22,000. The point I am trying to make is that in terms of NBI's total capacity in regard to distance in a year, it is 2,500 km of ducting, but typically, how many poles would it be?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: It is only at 22,000 at the moment.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: It is 20,000 at the moment. It will go to 30,000 in October, 48,000 in April 2023 and up to 50,000 poles.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is if NBI can get to that point.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Obviously, if the self-install comes, that will speed up the overall process.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Overall, based on NBI's current capacity with Eir, if nothing changes, how long will it take to reach the target? When does NBI plan to have the full roll-out completed?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: When will the seven years be reached?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: When Mr. Malone says 2026, is he including the 50,000 poles in that calculation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: If NBI gets to self-install, how much will it be able to bring back the roll-out?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: I appreciate that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: It could be 2025. It is very important in that context.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: 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: It would speed up the roll-out to those gap intervention areas.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: And it de-risks in that sense. I asked this question of Mr. Hendrick previously. When NBI has completed the roll-out, what percentage of the land mass in Ireland will have fibre cable?

Kieran O'Donnell: What level does Eir have currently?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland (29 Jun 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: I come at this slightly differently: I will not tell NBI how to suck eggs. I think NBI is more than capable. I fully understand where Mr. Hendrick is coming from. The self-install could bring it back a year. That is very important. At this stage, NBI has concluded its discussions with Eir on poles and it is confident about what has been agreed.
