It does not have telephone poles, and the phone line from Eir's access chamber to each house was placed on the ground before pouring a concrete driveway over it. Do I need to start digging to put in ducts, or will they install poles?

37,000 premises originally identified as being served by commercial operators (the "Blue" premises), have not materialised and will therefore be included in the intervention area and the map has also been updated for approximately an additional 2,000 premises identified in the latest Ordinance Survey Ireland data Eir has passed approximately 34,000 more premises than the 300,000 it had originally undertaken to pass with its fibre rural network and SIRO has passed 4,000 premises in the intervention area as part of its wider fibre network rollout. These approximately 38,000 premises have been removed from the intervention area.
