On those broadband connection points, there is an error in the briefing documentation provided to us. It states that the 150 Mbps high-speed broadband being delivered to these broadband connection points is high-quality fibre broadband. At 150 Mbps, it is wireless broadband. Vodafone is the contractor delivering that. I just wanted to clarify that it is not fibre.
I commend the Minister on the €5 million for remote working, which is very welcome. How will that be utilised in the context of Covid-19? Until March of this year, co-working hubs were a great idea. Co-working hubs now have the added challenge of Covid-19. How will that be incorporated into it?
Does anybody else have anything to say about A7?
