207. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform further to Parliamentary Question No. 859 of 6 November 2018, if his Department has costed the National Broadband Plan; the estimated cost of the National Broadband Plan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49551/18]

The Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment is the Sponsoring Agency for the National Broadband Plan (NBP) and it is the responsibility of that Department to undertake costings and comply with the Public Spending Code.
It would not be appropriate to comment or speculate on the estimated cost of the NBP, at this juncture in advance of the Government having considered the matter.
The Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment is currently evaluating the final tender received under the existing procurement process.
