Mr. Ciarán Ó hÓbáin:

Some of those dots are being joined up in 2021 and more will be joined up in 2022. Anybody in those areas can use the NBI website to get the up-to-date information for his or her Eircode. However, all the build programme in every deployment that is being built at present is meeting premises like the Senator just described.

Chairman, you asked a question about isolated premises and engagement with commercial operators. The NBI has gone to a public tender in that regard to seek expressions of interest. I understand it has communicated that it has received five expressions of interest to date in that regard and it is moving to the next stage of that process, so it is looking to see where it can use other operators to better reach premises in a more effective and faster way than through the roll-out of the deployment plan.
