Ms Carolan Lennon:

One can trust the figures, but there are a few anomalies. For example, within our new roll-out to 1.4 million homes, at a cost of €500 million, there are pockets which are coloured amber on the map provided which are housing estates which have been built since the network was put in place. As they are too far from the cabinet, there are reduced speeds. We are including approximately 50,000 such houses in the urban areas roll-out. There are discrete pockets which are not receiving that service, but, in general, people are getting what is being advertised.
