Delivering high-speed broadband across Ireland.

infrastructure initiative in the history of the State. It aims to enhance the broadband
landscape in Ireland, ensuring that all citizens and businesses have access to the
digital opportunities and benefits of high-speed broadband connectivity, no matter
where they live or work.

GOAL

The communications goal for advising on the National Broadband Plan (NBP) was to
effectively support the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications
(DECC) in promoting and managing the NBP.

The aim was to build public trust and understanding of the NBP, highlighting
its benefits and progress, and to manage the relationship with National Broadband
Ireland (NBI) to ensure successful implementation and delivery of high-speed
