Mr. Mark Griffin:

They relate to commercial operators. With the phase 2 element, only three are in double digits. One is Carrigaline-Passage West-Ringaskiddy, which has 20 operators, and Killarney, County Kerry, has 16 operators. Tralee has 21 operators and Navan has 14 operators. All the rest are in single digits, reflecting the difficulty around securing an uptake in usage in the phase 2 MANs, at least in the early years.
