Opposition TDs have rounded on the Government following the disclosure that the chosen National Broadband Plan bidder is putting less than €200m into the project.
Today Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe, again said he is not in a position to reveal how much Granahan McCourt will be contributing to the project. Mr Howlin told the gathering: "A free market ideology is clearly visible in Fine Gael's decision to give €3 billion of the people's money to a private monopoly, alongside ownership of the rural broadband network.
"Officials in government departments, who are aware of the level of proposed private sector investment, rubbished the cost benefit analysis of the proposal and questioned the ability of the project to be delivered.
