I welcome Ms Lennon and Mr Storey to the meeting. I thank them for their presentations and for taking the questions. Any of the comments I make are not personal to the witnesses.

It is fair to say that of all the utility companies, Eir is the one that exercises people a lot. I believe it needs to address huge areas arising from today's meeting. In light of Deputy Lowry and the Chairman's comments regarding the relationship with National Broadband Ireland, I earnestly ask that this relationship be addressed urgently in the context of the customer and the person who requires a service as a private citizen and as a commercial entity. I urge the witnesses to readdress that relationship. This must be about people.
