I thank Mr. Henry for the presentation. I am looking at the location of the networks throughout the country, particularly in Kiltimagh, Knock, Claremorris, Ballinrobe, Ballina and Belmullet in County Mayo, which is my constituency. I know these were chosen because of the lack of facilities or broadband but a number of gaps exist in Roscommon and Clare. Why is the pattern as it is? I agree that broadband attracts jobs and I was in Claremorris when the network was switched on. Does Mr. Henry have any indication of how successful the MANs are? Does a table exist of places where the MANs are used and where they have been most successful?
