I think we should look at it, and I would not rule out that option of aggregating a number of different projects. It tends to be estate-specific and site-specific so how exactly you might do that might be slightly difficult. However, I would not rule that out.

I agree with the Deputy. This is not anything like the scale of the national broadband plan. It tends to be very specific estates for a certain period in certain locations. It is a much more limited engineering challenge. However, it is really important that we have broad, fair access for everyone, and I will look at that or ask the Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smyth, who has responsibility, to look at that specific proposal as to whether we could aggregate some of the interventions.
