Mr. T.J. Malone:

From a survey and design point of view, we are well ahead on this point. Survey and design is the leading part and we have to get it done first. We are ahead of our target in this regard. We are probably 22% or 23% ahead in surveys and approximately 10% ahead in design. The key thing for us on that is that we do not get stale and we are not too far ahead.

We are fine from the point of view of contractors. In regard to construction on the ground, we break it into two parts. There is what we call the passive construction, which is building the fibre, cleaning the manholes, the blockages and so forth. We currently have four contractors employed on that part of the project and another contractor has just been added to the framework through the Department. We have gone through the process with the Department. It is quite a lengthy process. That is done now and we are in the middle of a process of trying to add another three to the framework in order that as we ramp and build, we can add them into the mix as well.
