Yes, the issue pertains the actual coverage of broadband right across the country. As the Leas-Cheann Comhairle will be aware, I have travelled extensively in Ireland in recent weeks but this is the issue in every community, including one only 15 miles from Dublin's O'Connell Street, as well as communities in Wexford, west Cork and north Cork. One school in north Cork lacks broadband coverage and it is of vital importance to target seriously this issue because, as I have stated many times over the past two years, there is an major issue regarding the divide between those who have coverage and those who do not.

The issues involved are coverage and the cost of broadband.
