I certainly will. If the commercial provider is not willing to connect all houses in the area then we have a problem. I will check the map and I will ask the resident to check the postcode. If it is on the periphery then what assurances can the Minister give? Does the Minister believe that a 5 m border is sufficient? The resident made an offer to be included at his own cost. Is this so bizarre if a premises is outside the light blue area? What other remedy could be found? If the alternative is that his premises goes into the amber area of the map and he must wait in the never-never land then I do not know what solution I can offer to him. I believe this matter relates to the fact that Oldtown exchange is the most archaic one in the county of Dublin. It probably needs special attention because there are a number of residents who are in the townland of Oldtown who will not be connected and who will not be provided for by Eir. We need to plug that gap and this is what I am trying to do.
