We will resume our engagement with broadband providers. We have been busy all day meeting a number of groups. I welcome Enet, and thank its representatives for being here. They are here voluntarily to assist the committee and to provide information to us. We are here to listen and learn. The Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment appeared before this committee some time ago to discuss the NBP, the process of which has been ongoing for a couple of years. We wanted to interrogate the process to date, in terms of costs incurred so far and the future costs of the plan, and we decided that we needed to inform ourselves on the matter, being Deputies with no great expertise in the communications area. Deputy Farrell has indicated that he has some knowledge in the area.
