659. Deputy Michael Colreavy asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if the element of the national broadband plan that requires State intervention is likely to reduce significantly following Eircom’s announcement to roll-out fibre broadband to 300,000 premises which had been included in his Department’s national broadband plan, given that Eircom had participated in the national broadband plan mapping exercise within the past year which had agreed that these 300,000 premises were not likely to benefit from commercially-driven broadband investment; and his views on successive announcements by Eircom to deliver fibre to the home over recent months, totalling some 800,000 homes since autumn 2014, when as of June 2015 only about 150 of those homes have actually been connected with fibre by Eircom.
