Returning to the Deputy's original question, there are ten BCPs in Carlow and 12 in Kilkenny. There are areas within the cities, such as Kilkenny city where broadband cannot be accessed. That applies everywhere. With the roll-out of high-speed fibre across rural Ireland someone who is not getting that connection and is in a broadband blackspot in the city will naturally be aggrieved. I am not only the Minister of State with responsibility for rural broadband but for all broadband. Some 78% are living outside in the urban areas and I have to make sure that everyone is provided with functional working broadband whether they are in the rural NBP area. I am committed to doing that.

The Deputy asked when everyone in Carlow and Kilkenny will have high-speed broadband. It is on the map on nbi.ie. She will see the different intervention areas. She can put in a particular eircode but also click on the different areas and see what dates they are due to connect. She can find all that information.
