Good. We as a committee will write to NBI in that regard. We want to work with NBI and to get broadband rolled out in Ireland as quickly as possible. Nevertheless, we would like an assurance from NBI that, within that remit, it will prioritise the surveying of all blue areas now as part of that undertaking. We will write to NBI in that regard and it will tell us if it needs us to assist it in any way, which we will do. We wish NBI well and want to work with it. That is our role as a committee.

In summary, will NBI examine the issue, respond to us and engage with Eir to link in to its broadband connections next door to these blue areas? As part of that, rather than examining it on a geographical area-by-area basis, will NBI carry out a survey of all the blue areas as part of that priority?
