Brian Stanley: Mr. Hendrick mentioned a cost of in the region of €2,000 per connection. I refer to the cost of providing the scheme. Adding together the State subsidy and the private finance and dividing that by 540,000 or 550,000 gives a figure of approximately €12,000. Is that correct? I am talking about the actual cost of the scheme. In other words, the average cost for a premise in...

Brian Stanley: No. There is a particular number of households and premises in the intervention area.. We know this. We have been over it for the past five or six years. We now know there are two sums of money - one is the State or taxpayer subsidy of €2.6 billion or €2.7 billion and the other is private sector investment of approximately 9% or 10% of that figure. What has NBI calculated...

Brian Stanley: I do not want Mr. Hendrick to go there just now. What I am trying to ascertain is the cost of the scheme per household. That is what I am trying to figure out. Could Mr. Hendrick confirm that he or Mr. Kelly has figured this out? I refer to the cost of the overall scheme when NBI goes to service every house and premises, all 540,000, 560,000 or 570,000. What is the cost?

Brian Stanley: A question has already been asked about duplication. Is NBI duplicating infrastructure that is there already? My information is that there could be in the region of between 40,000 and 50,000 homes already served with fibre by Eir in the intervention area. Is NBI overlaying that in places?

Brian Stanley: Mr. Hendrick has clarified that. In response to a question earlier on the cost of the infrastructure, my understanding is that the Eir infrastructure is currently owned by French investors, if it has not been flipped again. Mr. Hendrick knows that it has been flipped a number of times over the years since it was privatised in 1999. NBI is renting poles and ducting from Eir. How much per...
