From a pragmatic perspective, the public like these questions. I will not go there but a senior person in the country thought these cables were going to be underground and did not know about the 1.2 million poles that will carry the fibre. Be that as it may, will Eir be able to replace its existing copper cables with this and rent back from the SPV the use of the fibre for its existing network of telephone customers? Does Mr. Mulligan get my point?
