I will finish on this point. I live in an isolated, back of the mountains area and some 100 of our houses already have fibre, while 300 do not. Nobody can understand how Eir went 300 or 400 yd. farther down that road, where there were three or four houses, and then suddenly stopped. It does not make sense. It would have been possible to roll out the national broadband plan from the outside in. The contract could have been granted, but at the same time stated that it would commence at the furthest out places because they need it most.
