Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

It is very difficult to say at this stage until we analyse where those premises are and whether it makes sense to build a fibre network there. Ultimately, we need to make sure consumers will get a connection. I would be very loath to remove premises from the network build where it turns out they will not get a connection from a commercial operator.
