Ms Áine Lynch:

Broadband access was always something urgently sought by primary schools, but I think Covid-19 and the home schooling that we have been going through has made that even more important. However the connectivity has to be on the other side as well. Often where the schools are having difficulty with a broadband connection, the homes in that area are also having difficulty with connections because of the rural nature of where they live. It is really important that we manage both sides of that connection.
