The difficulty with that, Mr. Ó hÓbáin, and I flagged this last December, is that the Department is waiting for people to go cap in hand and say this is happening. What the broadband officers have said to both Departments and to me, and what I said to the Department's officials last December, is that there must be a proactive strategy to say to those communities, "This is where the fibre is starting from and if you are inside this area and you are not getting 30 Mbps, something needs to be done". NBI has put up posters all over the area, and even called some parts of County Roscommon as parts of County Galway. You made that mistake here this morning as well. The reality is that something proactive has to be done so we do not have a replication of Ahascragh. What has to happen immediately is that some proactive information must be provided to the communities in the Ballinasloe deployment area to tell them to make contact if they are not getting the minimum 30 Mbps.
