Minister of State Tony Killeen T.D. has welcomed the announcement by Eircom that it has enabled the broadband exchange in Kildysart.
The local Fianna Fail Deputy says the development brings to 12 the number of exchanges enabled by Eircom since January 2009. The other areas include O’Briensbridge, Rockmount, Bridgetown, Cooraclare, Doonbeg, Whitegate, Kilfenora, Clarecastle, Ballyalla, Feakle and Bunratty.
According to Minister of State Killeen: “The enabling of the Kildysart Exchange forms as part of Eircom’s public commitment to broadband enable hundreds of exchanges across Ireland. The company is planning to bring DSL broadband services to Kilmihil, Kilkee, Tulla, Kilkishen, Quin and Kilmaley in the coming months.”
The Clare T.D. said the broadband penetration rate in County Clare greatly improved in 2009 as a result of the rollout of the National Broadband Scheme, which will bring broadband to those areas currently without such services. He continued: “There are many parts of Clare that are not served by a viable and cost effective broadband service. The entrance into the telecommunications market of new wireless broadband providers coupled with the continued rollout of mobile broadband and DSL services will help to increase the overall number of domestic and business subscribers. “
“With universal broadband in Ireland we will be able to concentrate on increasing speeds and reducing costs. This will help stimulate Clare communities currently not served by a broadband service”, concluded Minister of State Killeen.
