Eugene Murphy (Roscommon-Galway, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not intend to discuss the programme for Government. It was noticeable when canvassing, particularly in my constituency of Roscommon-Galway, that the issue of broadband is very significant. While I acknowledge that there have been breakthroughs and that some areas have been connected, many farmers, owners of small businesses and schools remain without it. Is it the Government's intention to proceed with the scheme as announced, and if so, when can we expect a contract to be signed?
