I appreciate that. Obviously, Mr. Watt knows the concern we have as elected representatives. It is an important contract and service. Covid has really shown that we need to get broadband rolled out to get people working from home, including remote locations.

According to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's PPP tracker, at the end of 2019 the State was tied into some 30 PPPs, valued at a total of almost €7.1 billion. Does the Department carry out post-project reviews of the PPPs? How many of the project reviews has the Department carried out?
