Moving on to the issue of hubs, it was admitted earlier that there is a delay in the roll-out in quite a number of areas. We have connected 200 schools. Because of Covid, many people now work from home. In my constituency, areas that are less than 5 miles from Cork city cannot get broadband, yet there are community facilities that, if a central hub was provided, would be of benefit to a huge number of people. Are there any plans to put additional hubs in place?
