Of the 453 live connection points, how many are in counties Carlow and Kilkenny? I would like the Minister of State to examine this issue,

Has an independent study into the potential role of next-generation low-earth orbit satellites to deliver high-speed broadband to rural Ireland been conducted? In the past 18 months, enormous strides have been made in the provision of global satellite-based high-speed broadband. Is the Government actively encouraging and supporting the provision of high-speed broadband via low-earth orbit satellites to premises in the intervention area, especially where the NBP spans and waiting times for services are likely to be significant?
