National Broadband Ireland (NBI), has announced that construction has commenced to deliver high-speed broadband to almost 1,200 premises in the rural areas surrounding the Bundoran deployment area in County Leitrim.
This includes the areas surrounding Kinlough and Tullaghan.
In Leitrim, there are approximately 12,000 premises in the Intervention Area which includes homes, farms, commercial businesses and schools.
Under the National Broadband Plan, County Leitrim will see an investment of €46M in the new high speed fibre network.
This will enable e-learning, remote monitoring of livestock or equipment, e-health initiatives, better energy efficiency in the home, and facilitate increased levels of remote working.
Having successfully completed the Survey and Design phase of the project, 1,167 Leitrim premises in the Bundoran deployment area are now under construction to have high-speed fibre.
In advance of the Fibre-to-the-Home rollout, the NBP provides for the delivery of Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) nationwide.
