00:00We've been here today at Lizna Garvey showing Saoirse Eastwood, who's the MP for Lagan Valley, round.
00:07This mast has been very important to her. She has been looking at it for years, so she's very excited to come and find out all about what happens here.
00:15I'm delighted to have had the opportunity to look around Archiva Lizna Garvey today.
00:20Obviously I'm very proud to have it in my constituency of Lagan Valley, and what I've learned is that this is critical national infrastructure.
00:27It's so important that we understand what actually goes on here, how it relates to people's lives, whether it's having that real lifeline on the TV.
00:35Those are all things that people really, really care about, and it's brilliant to be here today to actually see how it all happens.
00:42We were joined by Colleen John, who looks after business development and utilities, to talk about the opportunity to use our network for more future-looking activities on the utilities side.
00:52So it's been really great.
00:54I think this definitely has a huge role to play in the future as we go forward, whether it's meeting our climate change challenges,
01:00whether it's looking at how we actually make sure the communities are always connected, that we have security of supply, that people have methods of communication that they're familiar with.
01:10And it's really important that we understand that the likes of Archiva Lizna Garvey and what goes on within that industry is so important to our future,
01:19not just for people's lives, but in terms of security and all the things that are really important to us.
