Mr. Patrick Neary:

The first thing is that there is absolutely no barrier, prohibition or reason that Eir or any other such operator should have such difficulty. They can certainly deliver services in the amber area and there is no prohibition on them from doing that. It is a decision for any company as to whether they want to deliver or it is commercially viable for them to deliver services in the amber area, which I state as a point of clarification. Without looking at the particular circumstances, I cannot speculate as to why these operators are not connecting those particular homes.
