As previously stated in my reply of 28 January to a Parliamentary Question on this matter, the premises referred to in the Question are located in the BLUE area on the NBP High Speed Broadband Map which is available on my Department's website at www.broadband.gov.ie.While BLUE areas are not included in the State intervention area covered by the National Broadband Plan as commercial operators are already providing high speed broadband or have indicated future plans to do so, my Department has, however, raised a query regarding the premises in question with the service provider to get the current status for the location.
Our investigations show that the premises referred to is a newly built premises in a green field area within an existing estate. We have sent a further query to the service provider asking them to confirm when the infrastructure is planned to be installed for the newly built premises and when the service will be available for order. We will revert to the Deputy as soon as we receive a reply.
