I propose to take Questions Nos. 188 to 192, inclusive, together.
Through the Schools Broadband Access Programme, the Department provides for the supply of internet connectivity for all recognised primary, post-primary and special schools. The overall policy of my Department is to offer the best quality connectivity to all schools in line with technical solutions available in the market and within required financial parameters. All post-primary schools have high speed connectivity under the 100Mbp/s programme.
The information sought by the Deputy in relation to the breakdown of schools broadband connection speeds by county is being compiled currently and will be issued to the Deputy as soon as possible.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
