I welcome the Minister on his first day back. It is good to see him back on his feet again. Hopefully he will make a full recovery. He has been through a difficult time.

This question is about the national broadband plan.

There is major concern about it. The roll-out of the plan is badly needed in all areas. I was in County Roscommon yesterday, which is one of the counties in which the roll-out of broadband services is needed. It is also urgently needed in County Laois. People in rural parts of the county cannot do business due to the lack of it. We want to see its speedy roll-out.
