Ms Niamh Cullen O'Reilly:

The cost of getting fibre to some of our customers in rural Kerry or a rural part of any county - rural Ireland is all over Ireland - is much higher than rolling out fixed wireless access.

I will clarify a point that I made. Someone who has 100 Mbps fibre to the home will stick with it if the solution is 30 Mbps or 40 Mbps. Where fibre is available, it is a fantastic option and people are delighted to have it, but the reality is it is not reaching homes and businesses. There are self-employed people operating from their home offices who cannot get fibre. They will not see it for many years to come, if ever, because it is too expensive.
