678. Deputy Gary Gannon asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if the newly announced expansion of Wi-Fi in 90 locations to aid online access for students in further and higher education institutions will be able to include secondary school students and provide access for them also; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerEduroam is a service which could benefit all students especially with the increasing move to online education and dependence on broadband accessibility. Eduroam is a mature solution across Irish higher education where the large Education institutions have strong identity management solutions in place. Significant investment in identity management improvements across first and second level would be required before it would be possible to extend Eduroam benefits to schools.
