First premises on Achill Island now connected to high-speed fibre broadband

It was a real pleasure to welcome Minister O’Donovan to Achill as we marked another major milestone in the rollout of the National Broadband Plan. As someone who understands the challenges and potential of rural Ireland, the Minister's presence underscored just how significant this moment is — not only for Achill, but for rural communities nationwide. His words today capture the transformative impact that high-speed connectivity is already having, and why delivering world-class broadband to every home, farm, and business in the Intervention Area remains our absolute priority.
