Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

As I said yesterday, this was robustly debated at the time for a considerable length of time in terms of issues leading up to awarding of the contract, the best way to do it and so on. It was done transparently. The Deputy referenced yesterday the memorandum from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform that was published at the time. It was weighed up at the time and we had our view. I was in the Opposition. The contract has been signed and the key issues now are to get delivery in terms of the broadband plans, that all contractual obligations are met and, critically, that we get broadband delivered to these areas under the remit of the plan.
