Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland

Mr. T.J. Malone:

That is no problem. There are just over 50,000 premises in Meath at the moment. As the Deputy is aware from our last interactions at these meetings, we got a slow start in Meath. I am happy to say we are working very well with the Meath local authority at the moment, so that is progressing and progressing well. By the end of this year or within the first week or two of January we will have 2,780 premises built within that area. We were a little bit slower to get there but we are starting to make good progress now in Meath. The first few areas are coming out of the Skerries deployment area and then we have a lot coming out of the Drogheda deployment area. The next big one, which is next year, will come in the Dunboyne-Clonee area. That will start to deliver a number of premises next year.
