Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: National Broadband Plan Implementation (11 Dec 2014)

Tom Fleming: There are large pockets of County Kerry where broadband reception is either very weak or non-existent. Ireland has dropped five places to 56th in the world in terms of broadband speeds, a performance that is worse than Mongolia which is regarded as a Third World country.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: National Broadband Plan Implementation (11 Dec 2014)

Tom Fleming: The reality is that in terms of broadband speeds Ireland is a two-speed country. While some cities and towns have excellent coverage, large tracts of rural areas are served by up to 200 Eircom exchanges that have not been upgraded and provide broadband speeds of only 3 Mbps to 4 Mbps. While I welcome the recent announcement, reiterated this morning by the Minister of State, regarding the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Postcode Implementation (11 Dec 2014)

Tom Fleming: The figures on the consultancy fees for the setting up of Eircode are exorbitant. I fear we could have a debacle similar to the Irish Water situation if this is allowed to continue in its current form. The Freight Association of Ireland has raised some problems. It said the system will be useless for its members. The chairman of the Fire and Emergency Services Association said the random...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Postcode Implementation (11 Dec 2014)

Tom Fleming: I believe the views of the two organisations to which I referred earlier must be taken on board.

In its most recent report, it reflected on how the Eircode system will award individual codes to each address, contrary to advice the then commissioner gave as long ago as 2005. This is being done contrary to his advice when at that time, he warned that a code which identified unique address instead of...

What is the status of the €100 rebate that will be provided to all registered customers of Irish Water? Is this rebate designed to allow Irish Water to be set up as a semi-State company outside the Government sector? If it is not, then this money would be considered a subsidy. Is the...
