Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: Enet is essentially the spine of the process and everybody else radiates from it.

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: Questions were being asked about the existing infrastructure and Bord Gáis networks. Mr. McCarthy referred to Enet having use of that. Will he elaborate on that? It was not discussed earlier and from what I heard, I had the impression that the networks were almost redundant. He indicated that Enet has capacity in that regard.

Kate O'Connell: I thank Mr. McCarthy. This morning we heard about the second phase of the tendering and I want to make sure I understand that. Many of the questions this morning related to the extension. I heard Mr. McCarthy explaining it to Deputy Catherine Murphy. From July 2014, there was less than six years to run on the first phase. Is that correct? As a business then, Enet was wondering what it...

Kate O'Connell: That is fairly clearcut, is it not?

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: That all seems to make sense now. We could have done with the representatives from Enet being in first this morning. It might have been handier if we did everything in reverse order. Would the witnesses like to add anything further? We are at the end and perhaps there are things we have not asked about that might help our discussions.

Kate O'Connell: "SMP" means significant market what?

Those will also be hardest places to get to, the most difficult to connect and, I imagine, the places with the least penetration. I imagine they are the most complex premises to deal with.
