That is not an adequate answer for us. The main queries we get about broadband are from people in gap areas. Mr. Hendrick has still not answered the question. Under the contract that NBI signed with the Government, could it prioritise the surveying of the gap areas and then do a deal with Eir, which is the main provider of commercial fibre cable, to link to its fibre broadband so that the people in question could have broadband connections within a year? Mr. Hendrick is talking about the road, but can NBI do this under the contract?
