National Broadband Plan
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-15
============================================================

Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

I wish to congratulate the Minister on his new role and to genuinely wish him all the best. I extend those good wishes to the fellow spokespeople who will be taking a special interest in these portfolios. I hope we can all work together to mount challenges, reach conclusions and move forward with what we want to see in the area of communications, climate action and the environment.
My question is a local one but an important one. It concerns north County Dublin. When will we see timelines for the provision of broadband to the homes and businesses covered in the national broadband plan?
