That bears out what I might think myself.

Professor Barrett made a comment earlier about how broadband impacts best where the people have higher qualifications. It is something of a chicken-and-egg argument in the sense that there is poor broadband infrastructure in parts of rural areas, in particular, not to make it too parochial, in parts of the south east. If infrastructure is provided, does it lead to a better level of qualification? I am always conscious that in the south east there are poor levels of third-level attendance and those who tend to go to third level go to Dublin, Cork or Galway and do not come back. Wexford is the worst example in terms of it having consistently the lowest household income in the country and it is mainly down to the fact that it also consistently has had the lowest third level attendance. In terms of broadband, if the Government subsidises or helps broadband infrastructure be developed in more regional locations around the country, will that lead to a higher level of qualified people living in those rural locations?
