Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Mobile Telephone Coverage and High Speed Broadband Availability: Discussion

10:10 am

Ms Katherine Licken:

I agree with the Chairman. We hear the same complaints and get parliamentary questions and representations from local representatives. We are working with stakeholders, including organisations like the IFA, which are telling us directly the difficulties they are experiencing because of a lack of quality broadband. The purpose of this plan is to address that problem. In order to implement it properly and to avoid running into difficulties, it will take some time to prepare.
