'Joined-up thinking' required for services like broadband plan, says former Housing Agency chief

He said that the National Development Plan and the National Broadband Plan contradicted each other with one encouraging more focus on villages and towns with the other offering “one for everyone in the audience.”

The former chair of the Housing Agency Conor Skehan has called for "joined-up thinking" in terms of projects such as the National Broadband Plan.

It was like “putting lipstick on a pig” to talk about putting broadband into villages that could not treat their water properly.
