I want to talk about householders in Carlow who contact me every day. A homeowner contacted NBI, the Department and me several times regarding concerns about the change of ownership before a project was completed. He believes he will be forgotten. The original contract specified 200,000 connections by the end of January 2022. The man lives on Coppinaugh Road in Tullow. There are 34 houses on a 3 km stretch of road which is not served by broadband. His area was surveyed two years ago and he was meant to be connected in 2015. I have repeatedly supplied his Eircode and asked for help. What is happening? I raised this with the Minister of State recently. People are becoming disillusioned. It is important that the broadband roll out is done right. I ask the Minister of State to look into the cases I have raised with him as soon as possible.
