2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan (13 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: I know that from the briefing note provided by the Department. I can see where that is in relation to excess profit, the sale of NBI, network deployment, etc. There is an ask for some of the fund at the moment and there is a potential draw on it. On the encroachment fund, there is €130 million in that fund. My understanding of the fund is that there is the intervention area but...

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan (13 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: The service could be duplicated in the intervention area, in that it is being served by fibre by Eir and now the broadband plan will service it as well.

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan (13 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: I know that, but Mr. Mulligan and I are both aware that if the premises have been passed, the opportunity is there to connect them. Mr. Mulligan cannot flip over the selling point the Department has been putting forward in terms of talking about premises that have been passed. If it is passed, it is passed. There is the opportunity for the-----

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan (13 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: I hear what Mr. Ó hÓbáin is saying. I am asking him a specific question. Is Mr. Ó hÓbáin confirming that NBI may not build parts of the network in some of the intervention areas where it is now being serviced by a commercial operator?

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan (13 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: Let me cut to the chase. Was it not presented when this contract was being signed? The rules of the game were that that was the intervention area.

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan (13 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: That was a selling point. The orange area is the intervention area and the taxpayer or the State is putting up 90% of the cash. The point I am making is we find ourselves in a situation where another operator, which has a dominant position by virtue of the fact that it controls the highways - the main arteries out through the national broadband network - as one can see from the maps, has...

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan (13 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: Eir not alone has substantial leverage and power in terms of the pace things move at, which Mr. Ó hÓbáin conceded earlier on to me, but, we now learn, also has a substantially stronger position in terms of being able to dip into the intervention areas where it suits it to do that. Tell me this: what power has the Department, God almighty or anybody else to stop it from doing that?

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan (13 Oct 2022) Brian Stanley: I wish to revert to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI, grant schemes. I received a reply to a parliamentary question on 25 May from the Minister with regard to this. To be honest, I was a bit taken aback by the reply. It outlined the number of homes that were upgraded. These figures were for the first four months. I asked for the figures for 2022. The reply outlined to...
