Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Rural Hubs, Broadband and Mobile Phone Coverage in Rural Ireland: Department of Rural and Community Development
Dr. Stjohn O'Connor:
Exactly yes, and the next question concerned whether discussions have taken place regarding civil servants using hubs. I understand that conversations have taken place between the Minister and the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Michael McGrath, and she intends to write to him about this issue. Ultimately, however, it is a matter for Government regarding whether civil servants will use those hubs. In the BCP network, however, we have provided a second service set identifier, SSID, which could be used by the Government. Each of the BCPs, therefore, could be connected and used as part of a Government network.
