What is the length of time involved? I perceive a serious problem in this regard. I am from north-west Meath and the roll-out of broadband seems to be a major issue when it comes to trying to bring jobs to regional areas.

I have one other query.

The Minister referred to Brexit. It has come to my attention in the past few days that a large mass concrete company recently bought a plant in Newcastle and that 50% of the sales and turnover of the second largest concrete company in Ireland are linked to the UK. Many companies of this type will co-locate in Britain to insulate themselves against currency fluctuations and the fall out from Brexit. Is the Minister’s office concerned about this?
