Fianna Fáil has called for control of the National Broadband Plan to be transferred to a semi-state firm like the one behind Irish Water.

According to the Irish Independent, the party wants a firm like Ervia to be put in charge of the multi-million Euro project.

It believes that a semi-state like the Ervia, the ESB or Bord na Móna may be best placed to bring the project forward.
