I am willing to give the Deputy or any other Deputy information like that if they seek it in particular. About 240,000 homes have now been passed. About one third of the people passed have connected to the service. I expect that will keep rising until about 80% of people passed will connect. We will also reach the halfway mark for the project and will complete by the end of 2026. We will complete on time and on budget.

Later this year we are going to connect to the Black Valley in neighbouring County Kerry, one of the hardest to reach areas in the country for infrastructure. They will have full fibre broadband for everybody in the valley who wants it by later this year, in the next couple of months.
