Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2009
434 Deputy Seán Sherlock asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources when villages (details supplied) in County Cork will receive broadband under the national broadband scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6071/09]
View answerBroadband services are available from competing service providers over multiple platforms, including DSL (telephone lines), cable, fixed wireless, and mobile. Ballynoe, Castlemartyr, Killeagh, Rathcormack, Ballycotton and Shanagarry, County Cork, are currently served by at least one service provider and do not fall within the National Broadband Scheme (NBS) coverage area. The following table is a list of the service providers for the stated areas.
My Department has entered into a contract with "3", a Hutchison Whampoa company, for the delivery of the NBS. 3 will be required to provide services to all residences and businesses that are within the NBS area and who seek a service.
3 are currently planning the construction and rollout of the required infrastructure for the purposes of the provision of the service. Challenging roll out targets have been agreed with 3. Services will begin to be rolled out in April 2009 and the entire NBS area must be covered by September 2010.
The general areas of Conna and Ballymacoda, County Cork, will be covered by the NBS. Details of the areas to be covered by 3 under the NBS are available at www.three.ie/nbs.
