National Broadband Plan: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-01-27
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

I will publish as much of the contract as I legally can. It is a huge contract, running to 2,200 pages or so, and there are legal constraints. A large portion of the contract was published before I assumed office, and I have asked the Department to review with the lawyers how much more of it they can publish within the law. The Deputy will appreciate that I am constrained by the law. We have a system of law and I have to comply with the laws that exist.
