In the constituency I represent, I got some figures back in regard to the roll-out in County Mayo. We are probably the third largest county behind Cork and Galway in terms of the need for high-speed broadband as more than 36,758 premises are covered in the NDP deployment plan. People express frustration about how it is being rolled out around the deployment areas where a number of premises are caught between different timelines associated with it and that is causing huge frustration. There may be premises across the road from one in a separate deployment area that has a date related to 2025 or 2026 whereas across the road the premises is ready to preorder and go live. That is causing huge difficulty. For us, as public representatives it is very difficult to explain that. Is NBI doing anything to alleviate that type of concern? It is causing a huge difficulty.
