Calls For Full Review Of Bidding Process For National Broadband Plan

Fianna Fáíl’s calling on the government to carry out a full review of the bidding process for the National Broadband Plan.

The party says it needs to be examined after Eir pulled out of the running last week, leaving just one bidder.

It’s bringing a motion in the Dáil this evening, calling for greater state subvention to be looked at – the government will oppose it.
