Ireland's Digital Connectivity Strategy, published by my Department, sets ambitious targets, which include providing a Gigabit network to all households and businesses in Ireland by 2028 and access to 5G in all populated areas by 2030.

The National Broadband Plan (NBP) is the government's initiative to deliver high speed broadband services to all premises in Ireland.

The Question refers to a premises located in the AMBER area on the broadband map, which is available on my Department's website . The AMBER area is to be served by the network deployed under the NBP State led intervention.

The survey for this area is now complete. In Q4 2024, NBI will review the anticipated connection timeframe, which is currently January 2026 to December 2026 to a more specific connection window.

The latest information on when high-speed broadband will become available to this premises can be found on National Broadband Ireland’s (NBI) website at: nbi.ie/map/. This website is regularly updated providing the expected timeline for delivery and the updated status of any works that are initiated. NBI also has a dedicated email address, , which can be used by Oireachtas members for specific queries.
