In an announcement the Labour Minister, Pat Rabbitte, confirmed that 1100 towns and villages across Ireland are to benefit from the roll-out of a new fibre network, delivering quality broadband to each location.

This major fibre-roll out is a more ambitious programme than originally envisaged under the National Broadband Plan. It aims to guarantee that rural Ireland can enjoy similar quality broadband to urban Ireland.

Dunaff and Doagh will be amongst the additional roll-out.

Welcoming these announcements, Labour councillor, Martin Farren said, “This is a major investment in the broadband infrastructure of rural Ireland, and represents the first phase in the State’s plan to ensure that everyone in rural Ireland enjoys high quality broadband.

Many rural premises will be passed by fibre that can offer unlimited speeds, local schools and other community facilities will get direct fibre connections and telecoms operators will be able to serve rural dwellers in villages and beyond with a much better service than they currently enjoy.
