I thank our guests for their presentations. I know some people have already touched on our existing system from Eir, and I would like to as well. I am in Cork North-Central and we have a huge number of areas that will not receive an NBI service until 2026. I have one area where the pole is physically on the person's property, but Eir is not allowed to connect because the property is in the amber area. What engagement has there been with other operators where there are properties in very close proximity to the boundary? For instance, in this case, they are connecting a house 200 yds down the road, but they are not connecting the house that is closer to the pole than the one down the road. What engagement has there been with the other providers on this issue?
