When talking about rural Ireland, we all need to collectively demand fibre, period, end of story. I know it is not my job to be proselytising the witnesses here today, but I believe it is very important that we put the message about that this thing is being looked at upside down. We need fibre in every rural area. There is no point in having 100 Mbps in the school and having the person sitting at home with 5 Mbps.
