National Broadband Plan
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-28
============================================================

James O'Connor (FF), Cork East

It is great to see the level of progress in the roll-out of broadband. However, in ready to connect areas, and, thankfully, some parts of my constituency have that status, there is a lack of clarity with regard to people who are in new builds who want to get high-speed broadband connections under the national broadband plan, NBP. In particular, I refer to those in areas that are ready to connect. What is the process for a person with a new build in a ready to connect area who wants to get a broadband connection? What is the Department doing to help them? Will the Minister of State give a statement on the issue?
