That is why we must be very careful.

In terms of the business, we have discussed this matter with the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment. I mean specific examples where a business or a school is in close proximity to the end of the line of one of the 300,000 houses and premises that Eir has committed to rolling out the programme. That matter can be considered. I understand that there is nothing to stop Eir, outside of the 300,000, to roll out broadband as it wishes as a commercial company.
