Mr. Peter Hendrick:

There are 31,000 premises where Eir has said it is going to roll out or has rolled out. When a consumer places an order, there is a challenge around whether it can be connected or if it is going to be too expensive to connect. The difference with us rolling out the national broadband plan is that we are required to connect every single home. We do not have the ability to say it is too expensive to connect that home and therefore we are dropping it out, as it were.

It is really important that with any premises that the commercial operator has said it passed, that they connect to it. If they do so then that is great; they do not need the national broadband plan or they do not place an order with us.
