I have one question. Representatives of National Broadband Ireland appeared before the committee last week, if I am correct. There are still parts of the country that perhaps the commercial networks will not be able to get to. A project in Piltown recently won a Pride of Place award, but I would like to ask about what are known as blue town, community-owned broadband initiatives. I would like to hear a general comment on the support for that type of initiative, where there are community-owned broadband projects like the one in Piltown. I am not sure how many there are in the country but they tend to be in areas which are perhaps not as commercially viable to reach as certain other parts of the country.
