National Broadband Plan to be ‘fast-tracked’ in 2019




The National Broadband Plan will reportedly be ‘fast-tracked’ in 2019. Previously, it was announced that the plan would be stalled until 2020 at least.

First announced in 2012, the scheme to provide rural areas with access to reliable broadband services has dragged on unresolved for a number of years.

The issue came to a head in October, as it emerged that the then Minister for Communications Denis Naughten had attended private meetings with the chairman of the consortium which was ultimately chosen to implement the programme.
