I appreciate the response and understand the perspective. Very significant societal changes will come with the full implementation of this plan. During the lockdown, as RTÉ reported, one of the digital hubs in my area did not have high-speed broadband connection. The building existed, with the tables, chairs and offices, but they did not have the broadband infrastructure to make it work. It is crucial that the system is in place to deliver it and that the broadband plan is delivered as quickly and to as high a standard as possible. What is the Minster's view of the timeframe for the roll-out and the model of delivery? The comparison has often been drawn with the ESB. Does the Minister support the model that is there? Will the project proceed as proposed or will there be a review?
