Yes, I will. This is about trying to help areas where it will now be 2026 before they are connected. We can take action to assist families in those areas. There are 900 children in primary school in one parish, another 900 in secondary school and probably a further 300 or 400 students in third level. This is the area I am talking about where less than 50% of households have connectivity. Something needs to be done in these areas.
