There are now about 180 Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) operating in towns and villages in every county, says the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys, with many others being connected in the coming months.
These publicly-accessible sites provide free Wi-Fi internet connectivity in rural locations, including on many of the offshore islands, said the Minister, replying to a recent Dáil question from Cork South-West Social Democrats TD Holly Cairns.
Surveying for the National Broadband plan has begun this week in the Comeragh area of Waterford.
There are 15,000 premises in the Intervention Area (IA) in the county, which includes homes, farms, commercial businesses and schools, which is around 24% of all premises in Waterford.
Jack Doyle, the local authority’s broadband officer, has been updating Waterford councillors on the rollout at council meetings this month.
He said the target for this year is to connect around 5,500 premises. The surveying of the city area is now complete, and in April it’s expected the build phase will start, which will last around 18months and connect over six thousand premises.
