Broadband plan review call rejected

The Government and Fianna Fáil are set to clash tonight over the botched broadband procurement plan, after cabinet sources said they will refuse the opposition party’s request to review the tendering process.

In a private members motion in the Dáil tonight, Fianna Fáil communications spokesman Timmy Dooley will urge the Government to immediately stall the procurement process and review what has gone wrong.

Mr Dooley and his party has demanded a fully independent, two month review to take place as a matter of urgency after last week’s revelations Eir was pulling out of the project.
