Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2011
338 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the position regarding a date for broadband roll-out at a location (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31080/11]
View answerThe area referred to in the Deputy's Question is covered by the National Broadband Scheme (NBS). Full broadband services have been available to all premises throughout the NBS target areas, including St. Johnston in County Donegal, since October 2010. Information on the NBS is also available at http://three.ie/nbs/.
339 Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if, in view of the reply he gave to Deputy Noel Coonan on 11 October 2011, he will confirm that the e-mail address, nationalbroadbandscheme@nbs.ie, exists; if it does not, he will correct the record of Dáil Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31279/11]
View answerThe Deputy correctly points out the error in the email address given in respect of the dedicated National Broadband Scheme mailbox operated by my Department. The correct information, as appears on my Department's website, should have read: nationalbroadbandscheme@dcenr.gov.ie.
I wish to apologise to the House for this inadvertent typographical error and wish to correct the record where it appeared in responses to previous Parliamentary Questions. Accordingly, I wish to amend the response to Parliamentary Question Number 197 dated 31 May 2011 to the Deputy, Parliamentary Question Number 321 dated 27 September 2011 to Deputy Creed and to Parliamentary Question Number 305 dated 11 October 2011 to Deputy Coonan insofar as the email address is concerned.
