Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Mr. O'Leary for a very thorough, comprehensive presentation. His reputation is such that I would not expect anything less from him. The ESB delivers electricity to every home in the country under a mandate from the State and is subject to oversight by the regulator. If the State was minded to mandate the ESB to deliver broadband to the 542,000 premises in question notwithstanding...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Mr. O'Leary discussed the issues to and fro with the Department on the NBP process. He is well aware of what Eir has stated about it being cumbersome, complex and difficult. Let us go back two years to when Mr. O'Leary was in the thick of it. If he was asked, in a relatively simplistic way, to say how he would deliver high-speed broadband - commensurate with what he was doing in the SIRO...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Mr. O'Leary talked about minimum risk to the Department and the State and maximum risk to the bidder. I do not necessarily want a comment on Granahan McCourt, but if it was known how much was available from the State - be it €2.7 billion, €2.8 billion or €2.9 billion - and that ESB as a parent company would have to commit only €170 million of real capital and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I do not want to push Mr. O'Leary but I need a sense of the quantum of money involved if we leave Eir and Granahan McCourt completely out of it. Is it fair to assume that when ESB withdrew, it did not feel that that level of subvention was available?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Recognising that the ESB is populated with highly qualified engineers, it is pretty adept at assessing risk, and the same could be said of Eir and its technical people. It is clear that this is an enormous project with an enormous level and multiplicity of risk. Based on its considerable experience of stringing cable and rolling out fibre and high-voltage lines, ESB recognised that at an...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: It takes a Corkman to provide clarity.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (26 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Mr. O'Leary rightly identified that 300,000 customers will benefit and have broadband, and went on to state it will make the process a little more difficult for the ESB. It is a little bit like the television programme, "Dragons' Den", when the dragons say, "I'm out". The ESB is out. While I do not carry any flag for Eir, the truth is that its investment on a commercial basis will put it...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Ms Lennon for her presentation. If we were to take the last home in a ribbon development on the edge of a village, such as Mountshannon where I was born and raised, for example, what service speed would the last home on one of those roads get at the moment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: Is that the speed they get as part of the 300,000 network?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed) (25 Jun 2019)

Timmy Dooley: They will have up to a gigabit. Let us say there are another five houses between the last house that has been served in that development and the end of the road. Ms Lennon has said that for €1 billion, Eir can give all those homes in the intervention area the same service. We will now get down to the micro. The last person in the line by that box is already getting speeds of a...
