    We've been here before, but finally Transport Infrastructure Ireland (formerly the NRA) got a well-deserved kicking from the Minister.
    “Some conditions that have been put on accessing those assets include uneconomic terms or bureaucratic barriers that have been put place.”

    He said: “A practical example of that is Transport Infrastructure Ireland has a range of ducting across this country on the national primary network and on the motorway network, but under the pricing structure it would be cheaper to dig up the road again and put in new ducting than actually access the existing ducting.
    “We need to look at that pricing structure. We need to look at the rules and regulations regarding access to ducting across the country and to speed up the roll out of the networks.”

    The NRA were identified in 2008 as the national one-stop-shop for comms ducting on national roads. Their role was formalised in the 2010 Communications Regulation Act
