Locals in the areas of Kilmichael, Ballingeary, Baile Bhuirne, Carriganimmy up towards Aubane asked about the roll-out of the national broadband plan. When they log onto the website and see 2025 or 2026, one can imagine it is frustrating. I appreciate the details the Minister of State has on the different switches in Carriganimmy, Dunmanway and Ballingeary. It is not available to the public when they log on to the website. They look down the Lee Valley towards the city and see other switches were switched on, such as Templemartin, which covered a huge area from Crossbarry to Coachford. That was a positive development. There is another switch in the middle of that area, in Baile Bhuirne, which the Minister of State did not reference. Perhaps he could clarify if the Baile Bhuirne area will be covered by one of the nearby switches in Carriganimmy or Béal Átha an Gaorthaidh.
