Labour's expressed concern the Government's only asking the ESB now to help with the rollout of the National Broadband Plan.

It wanted the network kept in public ownership over fears a private operator could increase broadband costs for customers.
Labour TD Duncan Smith says the ESB should have been involved from the start:
