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

Catherine Murphy (SD), Kildare North

The point of the intervention area was that it was an area that was not commercial. Eir was one of the entities in the process and, from memory, it had spent about €7 million by the time it dropped out. The key issue is that we get everybody connected that needs to be and wants to be connected. However, within the plan, there is the encroachment area and compensation can be paid. It is absolutely valid for us to keep an eye on that and to ask questions on it.
