The Internet is a great liberating infrastructure which should make decentralisation easier. Of 30 countries, Ireland has the least developed broadband infrastructure. I am almost addicted to the Internet. The speed of downloading from the Internet is still abysmally low in Ireland. I would not wish it on a citizen to have to do any serious business with a Government body via the Internet until there is access to a proper, efficient, reliable, affordable broadband network. I know that 700,000 lines are being made available, but Intel has referred to the fact that Ireland is at the end of the queue internationally.
