Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2020
195. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications if his attention has been drawn to a community survey (details supplied) conducted in Gormanston, County Meath, regarding the lack of quality broadband in the area; the measures he is taking to improve broadband provision and quality in the area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI welcome this positive initiative by the community in Gormanstown, which gathered comprehensive data on their experience in terms of the availability of broadband and its use by individual households in their community. A report detailing the results of the survey referred to was received by my Department on 26 October. Its contents are being considered, in particular the experience of those households in BLUE areas of the High Speed Broadband map, where commercial providers are either currently delivering or have plans to deliver high speed broadband services. When my Department's National Broadband team has concluded its analysis of the report's findings, it will respond directly to the Community in Gormanstown.
