Micheál Martin: Explanations of rural broadband plan meetings ‘do not stack up’
Explanations about meetings between former communications minister Denis Naughten and a lead bidder in the broadband plan do “not stack up” and more answers are needed on the stalled project, says Fianna Fáil.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar insisted that the process to supply broadband to half a million homes was “not tainted” after a review which concluded that Mr Naughten and David McCourt, a businessman leading the consortium bidding for the project, did not influence the plan, despite them meeting several times.
