Mr. Peter Hendrick:

We know where they are from our surveys. As we are out surveying, we see the gaps between where we have contiguous network builds and where we have to go off on a certain route because there is a house isolated on its own, which is very expensive to do. We have already identified the premises. When end users go to our website and put in their Eircode postcode, they will get a date based on their deployment area. In parallel, we are looking at one-off houses and buildings in urban areas that are just not contiguous in terms of build. We will have to put them into a different programme. They might get done earlier as a result of that programme.
