I thank Mr. Hendrick, Mr. Malone and the team for being here today. Moreover I thank them for their ongoing engagement. There is a lesson for Mr. Dalton Philips and the Dublin Airport Authority in this ongoing engagement with our committee. I am aware of pitfalls in Clare, and I am sure all committee members are aware of them in their areas. Such pitfalls are raised routinely with the witnesses, they are addressed and we move on. There is not a huge amount to go through today because of the ongoing communications. I do have some questions on the national situation and I would like an update on how everything is going in Clare. We had concerns as a committee that Covid would set National Broadband Ireland back. Will the witnesses tell the committee how things are going with regard to the catch-up and the overall target of fulfilling the programme in its entirety?
