National Broadband Plan: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-01-27
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

The Deputy will have received a detailed email showing all the progress so far just before Christmas, as did every Deputy and Senator. We will continue to update them on progress as we go along. The figure of 54,000 relates to homes that can order or pre-order. Homes that can order will get their fibre connected within ten days and those that can pre-order will get it within 90 days. That means that if all 54,000 homes ordered or pre-ordered today, they would have their connection within 90 days. That is where we are at. I expect the number available for order will be at 60,000 by March.
