- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Broadband Plan (27 Apr 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: If I heard the Minister of State correctly, 147,000 can pre-order and 135,000 premises were passed? I assume that those numbers fall within the updated timelines for delivery, in particular as regards premises passed. I hope there are no hiccups in the future, as there had been previously, accepting the issues in regard to Covid, etc. From my own discussions with NBI, my understanding...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Broadband Plan (27 Apr 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: I ask if we could just get the connection rate in relation to NBI, accepting that it is resellers who sell the product to clients and customers. The Minister of State pre-empted what I was going to ask. It is about the work ComReg has done in relation to making assessments. Some people will be at the tail end of delivery and we need to offer them the alternatives easily. The mobile phone...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: There will be a considerable amount of agreement on what we have lost in monuments and heritage sites over many years.

We all realise where we came from and it is about where we go to, that is, a better society and Ireland, somewhere that we can all share and a place where we all live. We...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (3 May 2023)
Ruairí Ó Murchú: The north west suffers from historically poor transport connectivity and this continues to impact on innovation, the creation of good jobs, a just transition and cost burdens on families and businesses.
