All post-primary schools will have a 100Mbps broadband connection installed by the end of 2014 in a project jointly funded by the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (DCENR) and the Department of Education and Skills (DES). The selection of schools for connection during 2012 was undertaken by a Steering Committee, established to oversee the implementation of the project and containing members from DCENR, DES, and HEAnet.
I am pleased to inform you that all post-primary schools in County Westmeath, including Castlepollard Community College, are scheduled to have their enhanced broadband connection installed by October 2012.
