Public Accounts Committee: Eir (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: It is a different product. Although Imagine is offering fixed wireless, it is not equal to Eir's offer. I wish to clarify the matter.

Kate O'Connell: In that case, the two types cannot be equated.

Public Accounts Committee: Eir (14 Feb 2019)

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: What percentage of the estimated 125,000 are connected with high-speed fibre?

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: If I can get my head straight on this, what Mr. Matthews is offering is not fibre, it is wireless.

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: I am not sure if Mr. Matthews was looking at proceedings earlier, but we were looking at the best way of providing this infrastructure that can be updated in the future. I mean this in the best possible way, that what he is selling is not what we want. We want a fibre for high-speed fibre network that is sustainable that is the same in Tullow, Tullamore, Tyrellspass and Terenure. That is...

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: Fit, as in the fixed wireless technology. I am assuming that the wireless as in 4G, 5G-----

Kate O'Connell: -----is subject to capacity issues.

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: Is Mr. Matthews saying there is no capacity issue? My apologies, Chairman, but I am trying to understand this. If Mr. Matthews is providing this service in Tyrellspass to a home, or to a business with 50 people working in it who are downloading and uploading massive files and are working 24 hour shifts and have access to Netflix, is he telling me that are no quality issues with downloads...

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: Mr. Matthews has mentioned "most other jurisdictions". Give me an example of another jurisdiction that has used this.

Kate O'Connell: If it is "most", Mr. Matthews must know a few of them.

Kate O'Connell: With all due respect, Mr. Matthews is at an Oireachtas committee and has made a claim, and I and my colleagues are trying to get the best product for the people of Ireland, and we do not want to be sold a pup. He has just made a claim-----

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: Excuse me. He has just made a claim that he has not backed up, and we are at an Oireachtas committee. If he wants to row back on what he said or provide me with information, it would be helpful.

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: I get that.

Public Accounts Committee: Regional Internet Service Providers Association (14 Feb 2019)
