Mr. T.J. Malone:
Yes. I will take it the whole way through, from survey, design and into build. On the survey, by the end of 2023 we will have all the surveys completed there. By the end of this year we will have about 80% of the surveys in Meath completed. By next year we will have 100% completed. For builds commenced, by the end of 2023, 86% of the premises in Meath will have started or gone into the commencement of build.
Once we get a slow start, we look to catch up fairly quickly. By the end of 2024, all of the premises in the intervention area will have commenced the build in Meath. From a builds completed point of view, next year we plan to do in the region of 14,000 premises on top of the existing 3,000 premises we spoke of. That will be 14,000 next year, and in the following year it will be another 17,000. It breaks back down into 7,000, and 6,000 for the remaining two years after that.
