I want to follow up on the matter of broadband provision. Mr. Griffin explained the position on the national broadband plan. Will he give us the dates once again? I have a specific example in mind which has general implications. It concerns an address in Connemara. There are blue spots where there is broadband. There is, however, a house right beside a blue spot which does not have broadband. We have written many times about the matter and been told that is not commercially viable to provide broadband in this house, although a service is availble in the house beside it. Having made further inquiries, we have been told by the broadband liaison officer that the house will come under the new national broadband plan. Will Mr. Griffin clarify the matter?
