The National Broadband Plan (NBP) State led Intervention will be delivered by National Broadband Ireland (NBI) under a contract to roll out a high speed and future proofed broadband network within the Intervention Area which covers 1.1 million people living and working in over 544,000 premises, including almost 100,000 businesses and farms along with 695 schools. The matter outlined in the Question appears to be between a sub-contractor used by NBI and the individual concerned and it would not be appropriate for me to comment on individual cases. My Department expects that the commercial terms between National Broadband Ireland (NBI) and its subcontractors are in line with normal industry standards and I have asked my officials to bring this matter to the attention of NBI.
