Mr. T.J. Malone:

It is a good point because we talk about self-install and people do not really realise or understand what that might be. The Senator has been out in the field with us. When we do our surveys and look at what areas of Eir's existing infrastructure we want to use, we do up all our designs based on that. Usually, there is a 4 inch pipe already in the ground. We then ask Eir for what we call Eir make-ready. That is basically putting a smaller sub-duct within that 4 inch duct that allows us to bring our cables through it and connect them up. At the moment we are not allowed put in that smaller sub-duct. Eir must do it on our behalf. It has a capacity level it is prepared to commit to annually, which is 2,500 km per year, but we want to be able to increase that capacity, because the more cable we can get in the ground and the quicker we get it in, the more homes that will be done and the quicker the NBP is rolled out. By getting access to a product where we are allowed self-install and put some of that in as well, it will increase the capacity above and beyond that 2,500 km, which then obviously increases the number of homes.
