217. Deputy Stephen S. Donnelly asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources further to Parliamentary Question No. 160 of 15 October 2014, that it is a matter for Irish Water to decide, in the first instance, whether there is a commercial case for entering the liberalised telecommunications market; his views that the case for laying fibre optic cable while Irish Water is laying water pipes should be investigated as part of the national broadband plan, regardless of Irish Water's interest in the telecommunications market, as approximately 90% of the costs of laying the fibre optic cable could be saved where it makes sense to lay such fibre optic cable along the routes of water piping; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
