Written answers

While I am aware that each local authority has a Broadband Officer, supported through funding provided by the Department of Rural and Community Development and that these Broadband Officers have been very active in supporting the deployment of broadband networks, matters pertaining to both the staffing levels of local authorities, and the allocation of work therein, fall within the remit of the individual local authorities, or where appropriate, the Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage and are not a matter in respect of which the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications has a direct function. Accordingly, I do not have the detailed information requested.
