Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2019) Seán Fleming: So the first five years will be the completion. There will always be installation with new properties and development over the period but, really, it will be just maintain, upgrade and repair the service. The year 2025 and how Eir fell behind due to Storm Emma were mentioned. Is it correct to say that every time there is a bad storm the deadline is pushed out by three months? It is aforce...

Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2019) Seán Fleming: Yes. We all want that earlier but the other could happen. The Secretary General has mentioned force majeurehere already.

Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2019) Seán Fleming: Yes, that is fine. I wish to ask some straightforward questions. Will people in rural areas have to apply for the service or will a fibre cable be run up every boreen whether the houses want it? Will it be a question of supplying the cable after it is sought by people in the area? What is the plan? It would be dreadful if there are people crying out for and willing to pay for the service...

Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Mar 2019) Seán Fleming: I acknowledge that it has been said that no requests have been received. When the chief executive of Eir was here she said that if she goes to her board and gets another €100 million she will be able to roll out the scheme to another 80,000 premises. Obviously that has not progressed. She said it was possible, and it was not a commitment. She has not gone to the Department with...
