Ireland's telecommunications market is fully liberalised and broadband services are provided by private service providers over various platforms including DSL (i.e over telephone lines), fixed wireless, mobile, cable, satellite and fibre.

I understand that mobile, fixed wireless and satellite broadband is available in the general area of Clonfert, County Galway.

The issue raised is an operational one for the company concerned. I have no statutory function in relation to this matter.
