I thank the Minister for his comprehensive reply and in particular his reassurance that both Dunmore East and Tramore will not suffer from the lack of funding. I accept prudence is required in the rollout of public infrastructure but I hope there will not be any unnecessary delays. We are all aware that there can be delays in the public system but broadband is such an essential infrastructure its speedy rollout is essential. Ireland is behind in that regard and we have a good deal of catching up to do in that regard. I am reassured following the debate.
