Will the Leader request that my colleague from the Roscommon-Galway constituency, the Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten, come into the House to explain the broadband crisis as Eir abandons rural broadband roll out? It is an awful indictment of this Government that this is happening. It is an absolute disgrace. I am involved in rural Ireland and when one is trying to attract tourists to rural areas, broadband is absolutely vital.It is the tool in that one orders everything online. Last night I was at the Gaiety Theatre to see "Sive", a wonderful production, by the way, which I recommend to Members. Druid Theatre is from Galway and Ms Hynes is from Ballaghaderreen, County Roscommon. It is a great production. In fact, President Michael D. Higgins was there last night too, just to give a little plug for the Gaiety. I highly recommend it. Tommy Tiernan was superb - I think he is a Monaghan man, is he?
