The roll out of the Broadband Connection Point (BCP) network is progressing well. My Department continues to work closely with local authority Broadband Officers, colleagues at the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, and the two commercial partners, National Broadband Ireland and Vodafone, to complete each connection.

There are currently 290 Public BCPs live across the State. There are BCPs live in every county and in some of the most rural and isolated areas, including a number of our off-shore islands.

At present, there are 25 BCPs in Cork with 24 now live and the final site due for completion in the coming weeks. Details of these BCPs are set out below.
