I am looking for more information. A lot of peculiar carry-on happened here over a long period of time. I do not know how many people remember the changing of the goal posts and Enet being involved and then pulling out. A major announcement was made in Ballinasloe that broadband would be put into Ballinasloe, Roscommon and Manorhamilton as part of an overall plan for broadband. After a few months, that was taken away. Number two, the Taoiseach told us and the Minister at the time, Deputy Naughten, that he had no confidence in him. Much has gone on behind the scenes. Given what has happened, does the Minister not think that rather that continue in the way we are going, it is time to have an inquiry into all that has happened in this debacle? We all want this broadband and we want it as quickly as possible. The way this has been handled along the way leaves serious questions to be answered.
