Ms Carolan Lennon:

That is commercially sensitive information that we do not release but I will try to give an indication of the uptake. It is on track in terms of our business plan, so we are very happy with it. When we last released the percentage, which I think was about six or nine moths ago, it was 14%. We measure by quarter. The houses we pass in the first quarter would be more than double the overall take-up. We go into an area, there is pent-up demand, it comes on board and over time it continues to grow. The averages bring it down because every quarter we are adding new quarters into it. We are happy with the uptake and we are confident that it will continue to grow.

Eir is a wholesale network and all of the operators are on our network. When we rolled out our fibre to the cabinet network, Eir was the first on and the first to bring in customers. Vodafone came onto the network and uptake increased again and then Sky came onto it and it increased again. When there are a lot of people advertising it, awareness levels increase and, as we know, a rising tide raises all boats. Vodafone is selling fibre to the home on that network. We expect Sky to do likewise so would expect uptake to continue increasing. We are very happy with it. We have no issues with it from a business case point of view.
