National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
What we can do is to respond with more details of what broadband community points are close to or in the region of the business in Rathcormac. As we heard from Mr. Malone, our endeavours to accelerate this process are critical. It is really about getting more certainty regarding predictability and sharing those timelines. It is hard to say that we will be able to accelerate one area, because the way the network is rolled out means it is just not as simple as accelerating individual areas. We are focusing on a national level. Mr. Malone described the situation in County Clare. It is an incremental increase in every county. The deployment of more BCPs and the increasing certainty of builds will allow us to give some visibility regarding how that might help.
