I had a meeting with the chair and chief executive of Eir recently. I made the point that it is in everyone's interest to provide this. It should be remembered that this is about NBI's wholesale open access product. Everyone can get access to it. It is Eir's interest to be able to give its customers, of whom it has many in those rural areas, the very best and quickest connection. It is not just about the outcome of the court case but, as I was saying earlier, the general speed and flexibility of the roll-out of this infrastructure. It is in Eir's interest for this to be done as quickly as possible.
