Mr. Fergal Mulligan:
It is spread over the seven years of the build and, obviously, farms are in every county. It will be 2026 before some farms are connected but that figure of 7,000, as I recall, is around where it is at the moment. Ordnance Survey Ireland and its postcode database has the Eircode postcodes associated with farms, so every month, as farms are connected, we are able to know how many are connected.
