My first question was the same because I had a recollection that they were not. I listened to the opening statement, looked at the briefing documents and listened to the questions from other members. Therefore, many of the questions have been articulated. The more information that NBI can put out, constituency by constituency, the better.

I have to confess that living in Rathdown, Dublin, we will not be supplying as many customers to NBI as other parts of the country. However, as a Senator, I have a national brief. Therefore, certainly, I am in touch with councillors from all over the country. The work that NBI is doing is very important. It is like electricity or running water; once one has it, one takes it for granted. However, if one does not have it, or if one lives in an urban area and loses power or broadband, one thinks, “How did I live without it?” That is what will happen with this scheme as it is rolled out.

We have touched on the schools. Is it secondary schools as well as primary schools? Or is it just primary schools that NBI is dealing with?
