Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications

I refer to my response to Parliamentary Question No.34 of 2 February last and I wish to advise that the Deputy that while NBI is making a considerable body of information available with respect to the deployment of the NBP network, that the specific information requested by the Deputy is not currently a part of the published information. I can further advise the Deputy, that my Department has requested that going forward, NBI publish information on the numbers of premises on a per county basis.
