My question relates to access to broadband. If students are being asked to study remotely, they need access to the Internet. Many students are currently lost as to how they will get that access. One in six third level students comes from an area with poor broadband coverage. I know that the Minister will say that the Government has provided laptops for them but there remains the issue of connectivity. That is a real issue and barrier for third level students accessing what we are asking of them in order to do their courses online.
