Prior to launching the National Broadband Scheme, my Department carried out a detailed mapping exercise to determine which areas would be included and which, by virtue of already being served by a commercial operator, were to be excluded. That exercise found that Scartaglin was already covered and hence was excluded from the Scheme.

My Department does not hold information on the level of broadband coverage available in particular regions or locations. However statistical reports on national developments in the fixed-line, mobile and broadband communications markets are available from ComReg, the telecommunications regulator.
