Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

Let me correct myself, within the area of the 300,000, it is not currently offering to connect those premises because, as the former Minister, Deputy Naughten, has stated on the record, there were a number of premises outside the 300,000 houses that the Department and the previous Minister, Deputy Naughten, asked Eircom to connect because it made sense to connect them because they were close to the homes it had already committed to connect.
