I will not go into the detail because I cannot give the Deputy a definitive answer. I will be better able to answer whenever the responsibility is transferred to my Department.

Regarding the county and regional broadband task forces, there is a lot we can do with what we have. People want to know when they can have broadband. Under the national broadband plan, broadband is now expected to be rolled out until June 2017. There is much we can do in the meantime. I am a strong believer in communities working together and clustering whereby they can come together and make an application for broadband, if there is the critical mass.
