Mr. Griffin discussed broadband. There are a number of exchanges around the country. You are correct, Chairman, about broadband and fibre optics. A number of exchanges have not been upgraded. While we are waiting for the 100 MB, why is it the case that a number of exchanges have not been connected?

You raised with Inland Fisheries Ireland, IFI, Chairman, that we have the biggest tourism attraction in the world. There are thousands of kilometres of fantastic riverbank walks and rivers and lakes for fishing, especially when one takes drift netting and salmon netting into account. I am disappointed with the promotion of rivers. I bring that to the attention of Mr. Griffin as the Accounting Officer with responsibility for the area. Nobody is promoting the tourism potential of rivers and lakes.
