2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - Chapter 9: Implementation of the National Broadband Plan

Mr. Mark Griffin:
Part of the reason is that while it was possible to connect the 670 schools by the end of this year, a decision was taken to leave some of them until 2023 because they would get a fibre connection then. We could have gone with a wireless connection for a number of the schools by the end of 2022, but the prudent thing was to hold over some of them until 2023, when they will be guaranteed a fibre connection.
