Let me refer to the big islands. Many of the inshore islands are covered, including the Clew Bay islands. Hare Island, Long Island and other very inshore islands are covered, and there are some connected to the mainland. They will all get fibre. I take it all the mainland islands, including Achill, Cobh and Bull Island, Dublin, will get fibre. What islands will not get a fibre connection from the mainland? I understand NBI was not contracted to provide fibre between the mainland and the islands in certain cases but that distribution is by fibre once the service lands on the island. I am curious to know the islands on which this will be the arrangement. They are mainly the highly populated ones, such as the Aran Islands, Clare Island, Inishturk and Tory. I do not know about Arranmore.
