Ms Ellen Kehoe:

I was speaking to a member of ours in the Cavan-Monaghan region. They are expanding their factory and have a new building but have no access to the Internet. It will cost them €7,000 to dig up the road outside of the factory and put in their own line. They have a foreign direct investment facility on the opposite side of the town, which I believe is across the county border, so they have a different county council. The facility experienced the same issue yet were able to receive a grant to fund the installation of a fibre-optic cable.
