We need to forget about all these Departments. If the Minister wants to get something done, he should get the communities involved in the roll-out. It can come under the Leader programme, as is done in other European countries. There are many other issues I could speak about here, including the cuts to the ambulance service that are affecting rural Ireland and the 24-hour accident and emergency department in Bantry hospital, but I have to give Deputy Harty his chance. I am very sorry for cutting into his time.
