The National Broadband Plan is not about bringing Netflix to rural Ireland, former Communications minister Denis Naughten has said.
Mr Naughten resigned from his ministerial position last October amid reports he had held private dinners with US businessman David McCourt, a bidder for the broadband tender. Mr Naughten said it was the bidders that sought the State subsidy and that it was his understanding that the two companies who made a formal bid both sought in or around the same amount of subsidy.
