Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

My point is there are examples and one has to look at every single case on a case-by-case basis. That would require engineers to look at every single case to see whether it is actually a capacity point back at the exchange or whether a new pole is required that would require a licence, will that pole get planning permission, has ducting to be put in, is a private way leave required etc. There are many reasons that in the case of a customer who may look commercial to the ordinary person, the commercial operator may come back to us, as the operators have done, to say there are a number of reasons they cannot actually bring the fibre that extra 100 yd. I have no doubt but that there are instances where it probably could happen. As Mr. Neary said, if that is the case, then the commercial operator should connect them.
