Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

The answers that were provided there look at a 25-year cost. What is the 25-year cost of operating a hospital, taking into account any revenue? When one is benchmarking to other countries, what is probably not taken into account is what those other countries modelled. Did they model five years or 25 years? Have they taken into account that connection cost and a fibre-to-home network that is going to be future-proofed for 40-years? It is a very difficult number to benchmark. Peter Hendrick said earlier that the average costs to pass a premises is approximately €2,000 and the average cost to connect around €3,000. Those are the capital costs that we are funding over the lifetime of the project. The revenue model over time will dictate how much the average costs will be and that will be the unknown as to what will happen over the 25 years.
