Dara Calleary: I thank the Minister of State. Has he clarified precisely when those 300 points will be delivered? Will it be during 2020 or 2021? This plan has all the signs of making it up as we are going along. That has been the constant threat in terms of it. What will the speed of the connections be in each of these BCPs?

Dara Calleary: I agree with the Minister about quality of life, etc., but quality of life does not put butter on potatoes.
