The National Broadband Plan (NBP) is the government's initiative to deliver high-speed broadband services to all premises in Ireland.
The premises in question is in the BLUE area on the broadband map which is available on https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/5634d-national-broadband-plan-map/.
The BLUE area represents those areas where commercial providers are either currently delivering or have plans to deliver high-speed broadband services. The Department defines high-speed broadband as a connection with minimum speeds of 30Mbps download and 6Mbps upload.
The activities of commercial operators delivering high-speed broadband within BLUE areas are not planned or funded by the State and the Department has no statutory authority to intervene in that regard.
The premises in question, and the surrounding buildings in the industrial estate, were included in open eir’s fibre deployment programme. As per information available at www.openeir.ie/fibre/broadband-checker, the upgrade work is now complete and the premises is now fibre-enabled, and fibre broadband services can now be ordered from any of the Retail Service Providers operating on the open eir network.
