If I heard the Minister of State correctly, 147,000 can pre-order and 135,000 premises were passed? I assume that those numbers fall within the updated timelines for delivery, in particular as regards premises passed. I hope there are no hiccups in the future, as there had been previously, accepting the issues in regard to Covid, etc.

From my own discussions with NBI, my understanding is that what is a seven-year programme can be accelerated to a six-year programme. There are some legal issues that are being dealt with in court currently, but it involves Eir, either with the Eir make-ready product or it would mean NBI being given the capacity to do some of those works. Could we get an update on where that conversation is? Have we got an outline and timeline for everybody at this point in time, or will we soon, even if they are at the end of the seven years?
