Mr. Sean Bolger:

The problem is that the process is taking a long time. Even if it was to start tomorrow, a fibre broadband roll-out that started in County Kerry, extending to Galway and then County Donegal to connect every home at same time, would take a lot of money and time. I am simplifying it, but by the time the people at the end of the line were reached in that process they would have been waiting for years.
