Is it possible for the Department, in consultation with National Broadband Ireland, which has got this fantastic State contract, to perhaps get an outline of how it plans on rolling out this particular project and how it intends carrying out the surveying? That will then answer the question as whether it is doing the easy pickings and the more densely populated areas first and that the people out on the hills and the mountains will be left until last. Is it possible for the Minister to get National Broadband Ireland to brief us on these since it is a totally funded scheme?

Has the Minister any information on the growth in connections of fibre to a house where it already passes the house under the Eir scheme. In recent times, has there been a significant pick-up per hundred houses passed of people actually taking fibre to the house?
