Micheál Martin: National Broadband Plan a 'torturous slow process'

The Taoiseach has cast fresh doubt over the National Broadband Plan after confirming the cost of delivering a high-speed internet service will be "many multiples" of what was budgeted.

Leo Varadkar has said a cost-benefit analysis is currently being carried out and the Government will have to decide whether it is now affordable to provide broadband to every home in the country.
