View answerIreland's Digital Connectivity Strategy, published by my Department, sets ambitious targets, which include providing a Gigabit network to all households and businesses in Ireland by 2028 and access to 5G in all populated areas by 2030.
The National Broadband Plan (NBP) is the government's initiative to deliver high speed broadband services to all premises in Ireland.
The Question refers to a premises located in the AMBER area on the broadband map, which is available on my Department's website www.broadband.gov.ie . The AMBER area is to be served by the network deployed under the NBP State led intervention.
As per NBI this premises was added to the rollout after work commenced in the area, the premises will be ready for connection following the completion of the rollout for the rest of the premises in the Deployment Area. The anticipated date for connection is June 2024 to July 2024.
The latest information on when high-speed broadband will become available to this premises can be found on National Broadband Ireland’s (NBI) website at Network Map - NBI. This website is regularly updated providing the expected timeline for delivery and status of any works that are initiated at any point in time. NBI also has a dedicated email address, reps@nbi.ie , which can be used by Oireachtas members for specific queries.
