Under the Schools Broadband Access Programme, my Department provides for the supply of internet connectivity for all recognised primary schools. A procurement framework involving more providers was put in place in 2012 which ensures that improved solutions are available to schools. The Department is continually working with providers to ensure that where possible improved services are made available to schools.

Under the next mini competition under the current framework the majority of primary schools, including Scoil Iosa, will be offered out this month. Where available and budgetary constraints allow improved solutions will be made available to schools.

The internal network in a school is the responsibility of the school.
