The premises referred to by the Deputy is in a LIGHT BLUE area according to my Department’s High Speed Broadband Map, available at www.broadband.gov.ie.
Under a Commitment Agreement signed with me in April 2017, eir is in the process of passing 300,000 predominantly rural homes with high speed broadband in the LIGHT BLUE area of the map and had passed approximately 175,000 of these premises as of Q2 2018.
I understand from my Department that the premises referred to by the Deputy is a new build and that eir's high speed broadband network has passed the premises. I also understand that the new Eircode for this premises is now in eir's database which should allow for a connection to be requested and provided.
