Somebody suggested €3 billion for an ever-diminishing number. I get worried when I hear billions being mentioned and the need for the contract. We have seen documents. There is a cohort that can only get it with State support; we accept that. However, there are other ways. When people were not able to get water, they set up group water schemes and got grants. It is even simpler to run a piece of fibreoptic cable to a house. There may be other ways of doing this that we will put to the Department. When Eir started the conversation with the Department, what speed of broadband was specified in the terms?
