I will give one example that came up yesterday. We addressed this in the last few weeks. A new school was built in Monksland, which has high-speed broadband. There is a business across the road from it that cannot work a card machine at times. I contacted Eir. Skullduggery is going on. I am not blaming Government but Eir. Eir told me that business was from a different box. I asked why it could not join the business to another box and help it. There was an announcement by another provider that it was coming into the area. Deputy Penrose is right that businesses are starved because of what is going on.
