The Minister has detailed the huge operation that is the national broadband scheme and has outlined, no matter how important we thought it was previous to the pandemic, how necessary it is now for businesses and individuals to have access to broadband. What works have been done recently to establish, by dealing with National Broadband Ireland, whether there is any chance of accelerating the process by which we might get proper infrastructure out to areas in rural Ireland? In fairness, some of these areas are not that remote. I am talking about parts of County Louth which are literally a couple of miles outside of Dundalk.
