Pat Breen coming under pressure to answer questions on broadband plan

Junior business minister Pat Breen is coming under increasing pressure to answer more questions about his actions and meetings related to the national broadband plan.

Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy has lodged an official complaint with the Ceann Comhairle’s office after a refusal, she says, by Mr Breen’s office to answer, in the specified timeframe, a parliamentary question she had asked regarding his engagements with Mr David McCourt and bidders in the National Broadband Plan process.
