Digital Hub Development Agency Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

The Minister spoke about deploying broadband infrastructure in the regions. In light of what happened in Longford in recent weeks with the deferral of the Cardinal Healthcare project for at least two years, a development of this nature would be very welcome in the area. Perhaps this could be considered by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment in the near future to lift the morale of the county. It is important that this project is driven forward aggressively by the Government and that the Digital Hub Development Agency is not allowed to bounce around between Departments, Ministers and civil servants. I welcome the legislation and hope it will be enacted in the not too distant future.
