Mr. Peter Hendrick:

For example, we will plug into available fibre networks that can bring us back to other regional points of handoff or back to Dublin. We will also use other networks that are available, whether passive or active, that fit into our demand requirements in terms of uptake and also new homes that come into the intervention area. We built this to meet the scale of demand for 25 years and beyond. That has been a critical part of our design criteria on the network. There is plenty of infrastructure we could use, but we need to ensure that we can meet the benchmarking of urban areas in the intervention area for the future. That has been a critical part of our assessment in designing the network.

On communications, we fully understand that people just want to know when. The work that is now under way for the first 76,000 premises will give people confidence that the programme is under way. We have 800 people out there building the network. We will add another 1,000 people. Every month we will add homes to that plan. We will take on board the idea of breaking this down into phases giving people a better understanding if their premises will be done. It is easy to say today who will be connected in 2021 and 2022. We have discussed internally showing that people are in phase 2 or phase 3. They might move and our ambition is to bring people forward. How we communicate that is critical. I would like Ms Collins to give a few minutes-----
