It is to connect all people and all homes, whether in Connemara, Bishopstown, Ballaghaderreen or elsewhere, to broadband. It is important that we do that. It is about ensuring that it is not just about rural Ireland. I want to give Senator Murnane O'Connor a small history and geography lesson. Approximately 9 km from Cork city, 2.5 km from the airport, is a state-of-the-art business park that gives employment and provides a haven for entrepreneurship and innovation. However, 2 km down the road, at Ballygarvan, there is very little in terms of broadband. It is not disadvantaged areas. The Senator should stop this mantra of rural Ireland-----
