Eir ‘committed to national broadband plan’

The boss of Eir says the telecoms firm remains committed to playing its part in introducing the national broadband plan, despite fears it has stalled.

Chief executive Richard Moat said Eir was still engaged with the national broadband plan as the firm announced its full-year results to the end of June.

Eir says it had underlying revenue of €1.32bn, up 1% year on year in the 12 months to the end of June. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation was €520m, up 4% year on year, Eir said.
