Fahan and Greencastle set for broadband 29.03.07

Rural exchanges in Quigley’s Point, Greencastle, Fahan and Muff, will be enabled for broadband in the coming months. Inishowen-based Deputy Cecilia Keaveney T.D., explained the development: “I have been lobbying hard on this issue for some time and I continue to receive daily enquiries on it from constituents. Having been in contact with eircom at the highest level, I have been informed that there is an ongoing investment plan for the current year to upgrade rural exchanges for broadband.”
Deputy Keaveney said she was currently pressing for broadband in “even more remote rural locations” which cannot be covered under the current cabled scheme. She added: “More and more people are opting to work from home for work-life balance and lifestyle reasons
“As this country has come on so much in the last ten years, it is important that we keep up with lifestyle choices and enhanced use of technology is just one way we can do this. I have raised this issue with Minister Noel Dempsey in the past and will continue to do so in order that rural dwellers have the same opportunities as those in more urban areas.”
