It is incredible that this contract is being allowed to run out when it is clear from ConnectIreland's opening statement that it is paid on a no foal, no fee basis. In addition, it is filling the gap, particularly in rural Ireland. In the past two weeks, a closure in Nenagh was announced. Brexit was one of the reasons cited. Brexit was mentioned a number of times in the earlier session and we have done our own exercise in relation to this.

Will the representatives of the Department tell us how the red lighting or the red flagging system works? What has their experience been of its operation?
