The company behind the €2.6bn National Broadband Plan insists that if it doesn’t meet its targets, the massive subsidies agreed for the plan will not be paid by the State.

Chief executive of National Broadband Ireland (NBI) Peter Hendrick will tell the Public Accounts Committee on Thursday that “NBI has not been and will not be paid by the State if it does not deliver these milestones”.
