I propose to take Questions Nos. 369 and 371 together.
I understand that broadband is available on Valentia Island from mobile, wireless and satellite service providers. As such it does not fall within the National Broadband Scheme coverage area.
The following is a list taken from my Department's website, www.broadband.gov.ie, which details the availability of broadband services on Valentia Island.
