I want to ask the Taoiseach about the national broadband plan. We have all been concerned since the resignation of the former Minister, Deputy Naughten, about where we are going. We understood there was to be a three week process to be led by Mr. Peter Smyth to evaluate whether the existing tendering process was sufficiently robust or if we needed to go back to scratch. We understand Mr. Smyth's report has been received by the Attorney General and considered by the Government, but I understand a decision has yet to be made. When will we see the report and when will we have clear views from the Government on how we are to proceed to ensure this vital facility will be provided?
