View answerUnder the Schools Broadband Access Programme, my Department provides for the supply of internet connectivity for all recognised primary schools. A framework involving more providers was put in place in 2012 which ensures that improved solutions are being made available to schools. The Department is continually working with providers to ensure that where possible improved services are made available to schools. Under the current mini competition under the current framework the majority of primary schools in Dublin have been offered out this month. Where available and budgetary constraints allow improved solutions will be made available to those schools. All post primary schools have a 100Mbit/s connection in place.
