BT Ireland (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: Enet published the prices shorlty before the Minister said they should be published. Mr. Evans stated there has been a 50% reduction in the cost of new connections. I ask him to explain that to us in layman's language. A major reduction of approximately 50% in the price of the service provided through the metropolitan area network for a new connection was announced yesterday based on a...

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: We will resume our engagement with broadband providers. We have been busy all day meeting a number of groups. I welcome Enet, and thank its representatives for being here. They are here voluntarily to assist the committee and to provide information to us. We are here to listen and learn. The Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment appeared before this committee some...

I remind everyone in the room to put their mobile phones on to airplane mode or to...

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: For clarification, Mr. McCarthy said that Enet was a subcontractor to the bidder, NBI. Who is NBI?

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: Enet is only a subcontractor, even though the bid has your name on it.

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: Mr. McCarthy is saying the Irish Infrastructure Fund has purchased a 78% stake in Enet from Granahan McCourt.

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: In Enet.

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: That is helpful. At prequalification, the financial side of the consortium is coming through Granahan McCourt and Enet, as the key subcontractor, has a proven track record of being able to deliver as an operator in the system with operational knowledge of this type of project. Mr. McCarthy must be the most modest person ever to have appeared at the Committee of Public Accounts because...

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: ...or what we are talking about. The report was commissioned by the DCCAE, which is the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment. We will immediately write to the Department. Enet understood, having met its staff last July, that the report was going to be issued very soon thereafter.

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: We are writing to the Department to ask it to give us a good reason the report was not published last July if Enet and the Department had signed off on it. The point is that people would have got the price reductions last July rather than tomorrow or today.

Public Accounts Committee: Enet (14 Feb 2019)

Seán Fleming: They are good price reductions in so far as they go and it would have been better if they had been out last summer. That is all I am saying. That is a Department issue - the report - not Enet. I am sorry, Deputy Murphy, for the delay.
