Mr. Mark Griffin:
Connectivity for second level schools in all of those locations is 100 Mbps per second. They have been provided with that connectivity. The difficulty is that a student in a second level school in some of those locations, even if remote, will have access to broadband but he or she might have that access at home. That is the challenge that the national broadband strategy brings in terms of where we need to focus.
