View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 172 and 173 together.
According to my Department’s high speed broadband map, available at www.broadband.gov.ie, the premises referred to by the Deputy are ones which are in the BLUE area.
BLUE areas are parts of the country where commercial operators are already providing high speed broadband or have indicated future plans to do so. The Department defines high speed broadband as a connection with minimum speeds of 30Mbps download and 6Mbps upload.
Where a citizen living in a Blue area is unable to obtain a high speed broadband service, I would encourage them to email my Department at broadband@dccae.gov.ie with their Eircode and details of the service providers they have contacted and the issues encountered in respect of accessing high speed broadband.
