The witnesses are very welcome, as is the information they have provided. I will not address broadband in great detail because I only have ten minutes and there are other issues I wish to address. I note the twin aims in regard to climate change and regional development outlined in Mr Griffin's opening speech. All Deputies have received the documentation I have before me. A man I know in Indreabhán recently emailed me with an update on his broadband. The houses 100 m on either side of his house have fibre broadband but this man who is attempting to work from home has nothing in spite of attempting to obtain broadband. That is the reality on the ground.
