I am not aware of the details of any press conference being held, but I am told that draft final bids in the procurement process are expected from bidders today. My apologies - the Minister is hosting a press conference today at Government Buildings to provide an update on the national broadband plan. This key stage is a significant milestone in the procurement process and it is the last stage before bidders are invited to submit final tenders. The roll-out of high-speed broadband in rural areas is happening. In order that people might check the roll-out areas, the Department's high-speed broadband map is now available at www.broadband.gov.ie. The map is searchable by Eircode.
