(4) An Eirpac subscriber shall pay in advance to Bord Telecom Éireann in respect of subscription for Eirpac service the appropriate sums set forth in the Fourth Schedule to this Scheme.

(5) An Eirpac subscriber shall pay to Bord Telecom Éireann in respect of connection charges the sums set forth in the Fourth Schedule to this Scheme.
