The committee is meeting with National Broadband Ireland in the coming weeks and we will be taking up that specific issue with it, as we have taken it up with the Department. We are aware of that issue. They are talking about a point-to-point wireless service from the mainland to the island. The committee is unanimous in its view that that should be done by a fibre-optic cable directly to the island, not by a point-to-point service. I call Mr. Murray.
