I ask that question on behalf of the 540,000 households that are not in the areas of rich picking. Some people might disagree about the State having to give 200,000 households to Eir, but we will park that for now. Considering the other costs retailers have, I cannot see how it would be economically viable if they have to pay €20 for each pole they pass to string cables for the other 540,000 households.
