I thank the Minister for taking such an interest in this issue. It is ironic that modern technology is bringing back rural Ireland. This affords people with the opportunity to work in their local village and support their local shops and community daily, without being required to commute all the time to cites to work. I recognise, therefore, the funding being invested in this area.

It would be very worthwhile, whether it is done through National Broadband Ireland’s website or the Department's website, to outline clearly the locations of the current broadband connection points, the connected hubs that are in place and the proposed hubs. That should be provided, in particular for County Limerick and north County Tipperary, because it is very important.
