225 Mr. Ferris asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources when broadband access will be available at a location (details supplied). [26245/04]
View answerThe provision of broadband is primarily a matter for the private sector telecommunications companies, regulated by ComReg, the Commission for Communications Regulation. DSL broadband is available in the location mentioned. There may, however, be operational reasons a digital subscriber line service cannot be delivered to the premises in question, and that is a matter for Eircom. Apart from DSL, there is a number of other options for the delivery of broadband, such as wireless, cable modem and satellite technology. A full list of the service providers offering services in the Kilbarrack and Raheny areas of Dublin can be found on my Department's website, www.broadband.gov.ie.
