Galway Minister warns collapsing National Broadband Plan process would lead to major delays

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway Junior Minister is criticising a proposal recommending the procurement process for the National Broadband Plan be reopened.

The proposal passed during a vote at the Oireachtas Communications Committee earlier this week.

Galway East Independent Junior Minister Seán Canney says the approach is 'ill-advised and ill-timed'.

He says collapsing the process would delay its implementation for another three to four years - and costs would rise.
