Mr. Sean Laffey:

We have no plans for that at the moment because it is not within our remit. We have worked with the Department and we have looked at that but putting new networks into small towns and villages is very expensive. It could be up to €60,000 or €70,000 per house. There have been some examples in the past where this was done and it was not a success because, essentially, people did not connect to the networks.
