Mr. Fergal Mulligan:
Connected. Some of the schools have not gone live. The Department of Education has to award a contract to what we call the retail service providers, such as Eircom, Vodafone or Sky, to deliver the internal wiring and Wi-Fi for each school, but NBI has made the physical connections to the walls of 470 schools. It is on target to have all 679 schools done by next June. That is way ahead-----
