615. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the reason households (details supplied) in Dublin 7 are still without access to fibre broadband despite virtually every other street in the area having access to this infrastructure; the steps being taken to rectify the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

According to my Department’s High Speed Broadband Map, available at www.broadband.gov.ie, the area referred to by the Deputy is BLUE. BLUE areas are where commercial providers are either currently delivering or have plans to deliver high speed broadband services.

According to officials in my Department, it appears that premises in the area referred to by the Deputy are in a position to order high speed broadband services from a commercial operator. An official from my Department will contact the Deputy directly to outline how individuals in this area can get connected.
