Mr. Fergal Mulligan:
In terms of how long it will take, the nearest benchmark we have is that Eir is close to concluding the 300,000 we all know about across Ireland. That is fibre over all the poles and through the ducts and to every home. The company started that process in late 2016. In mid-2019, or in June of this year, it says it will be complete. That means it takes in the order of two and a half years to get 300,000 done.
