More meetings between former minister Denis Naughten and the Irish-American businessman leading the last remaining National Broadband Plan (NBP) bid have been revealed. Mr Naughten resigned after it emerged he attended a July 2018 dinner in New York with Mr McCourt and another dinner in his Irish home last year. The first newly revealed meeting was in October 2016, when a consortium member of Enet and Mr McCourt met Mr Naughten and his advisers. It was held ahead of another meeting later that day between the NBP bidders, Mr Naughten, and department officials.
