Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

On broadband, close to seven out of ten premises now have access to high-speed broadband. While that is not enough, the figure will rise to eight out of ten by the end of this year. By 2020 it will be nine out of ten.

We are absolutely committed to doing that as quickly as we can-----
