I support Deputy Moynihan in what he is saying. Equally, I understand the Minister's point that this cannot be applied to just one company. Perhaps it could be firmed up a little bit more under the legislation governing the Advertising Standards Authority, because there seems to be such a huge discrepancy between the advertised speeds and the actual speeds.

I would be concerned about the speed of the roll-out of fibre optic broadband to areas other than the centres of population that have already been addressed in the discussions on this Bill. I would like to see some specific targets in respect of the public service obligation rolled out to the more rural areas. Perhaps the Minister can advise us on the schedule for that work.
