I thank the Chairman and I thank our guests for their presentations. I raised an issue this morning where Eir and other operators are providing services that are very close to the areas that are designated as amber. They are then not prepared to go into the amber area because they are saying that they are being restricted and that there has been very little engagement with them in trying to deal with the boundary areas. I represent Cork North-Central and I am coming across this problem where one house has a connection but houses within a very close proximity are not being connected, even though we are being advised by Eir that there is capacity but the company is not prepared to touch a house that is within an amber area. We went through this this morning and I am not quite satisfied with the answer I am getting on this. I believe a great number of houses could be connected.
