That would be to talk about rural broadband in a general sense. I am totally with the Deputy that we need it, but the roll out of rural broadband is a different Department from this Department of Rural and Community Development.

I was going to email my pre-budget submission to the Department. I have calculated and number crunched around how one could do it for between €10,000 and €30,000 for existing buildings. I will send on the lists of what it is was based on.

The Department said there was still some capacity there. Do we contact Dr. O'Connor? If so, can I have his email address? If not, do we contact the broadband officer?
