Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Engagement with Irish Central Border Area Network

Mr. Shane Campbell:

I will finish on that point. The Northern Ireland Audit Office report draws together quite an amount of evidence on the challenges of remote working in a rural area. The office's work focuses on Northern Ireland but the issues that arise are evident on the other side of the Border. They are the issues that affect people in terms of their being able to do all they need to do at home. They can arise where parents are home-working and kids are trying to do their schooling. Those issues will probably continue to arise. This requires the speedy delivery of the national broadband plan and, in Northern Ireland, Project Stratum. They would certainly make a difference to the opportunities in the central Border region.
