The national roll-out of 100 mbps broadband to post primary schools will be completed over three stages with 200 schools being connected by end 2012, a further 200 being connected next year and the remaining 250 schools being connected in 2014.

Schools in Longford and Westmeath are included in the lot of schools to be completed by the end of 2012. To date 195 schools have been completed with 5 schools remaining to be connected. These 5 schools have been delayed due to major building or renovation works being carried out on the buildings.
