The National Broadband Plan (NBP) State led Intervention will be delivered by National Broadband Ireland (NBI) under a contract signed on 19 November 2019 to roll out a high speed and future proofed broadband network within the Intervention Area. My Department has no direct role in relation to the matter referred to and any queries regarding same are a matter for NBI. I have passed the query raised to NBI and have asked NBI to respond directly to the Deputy.
