National Broadband Plan
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-04
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

Every country has some version of a national broadband plan. I have not met any communications minister from any country with a more ambitious plan than ours. Most of them are going for some form of wireless as their final delivery. Wireless technology is good but it is just not upgradable to the levels we are trying to achieve, as we are eventually looking at 25 Gbps.
