A decision on the future of the National Broadband Plan will not be made at this week, Communications Minister Richard Bruton has confirmed. Minister Bruton said the Government would not be making a recommendation on the awarding of the multimillion euro contract on Tuesday. There is a determination to reach a decision in a timely way but it is an important decision and it is one that we're determined to get right“It is not going to Government tomorrow,” Mr Bruton said. Mr Bruton said the Government now had to determine whether it was an investment they were willing to make. Fianna Fáil says the tendering process for the National Broadband Plan has been handled horrendously and people across the country deserve better.
