Mr. Patrick Neary:
The solution the Deputy is referring to is where a fibre line is brought to a cabinet. The line from the cabinet out to the house is copper. That is the solution Eir has deployed in the cities and suburban areas. The main issue with that solution is that the distance from the cabinet to the home can sustain a service of only 30 Mbps over copper.
