A significant decision was made by the Government yesterday to sign a contract which will help to ensure that people in rural Ireland have access to high-speed broadband on the same basis as do people in urban communities. Signing the contract was an important event. In every interaction with those who are tendering for such a project, a Minister will, of course, be accompanied by officials. Indeed, the absence of officials at certain meetings in the past has been a matter of some controversy. This is a really important decision and it deserved the attention it got from Ministers across Government, who were glad to be part of an important announcement for the future of the country.
