David Stanton (FG), Cork East

On the same topic, it could even be the same people in the same constituency. I have a young family that built a house recently. Fibre had already passed the house before they could get connected. They have been informed that it could be months before they can be connected. The house has to be surveyed by NBI before it can be connected. The houses on each side are already connected. This man wants to work from home and cannot do so. He is frustrated as to why NBI cannot survey his house in a shorter time. He is being told that NBI cannot do it. This is causing fierce frustration when it has already passed the house and when the houses on either side are connected. Can the Minister of State give us any indication as to how this might be changed?
