Carrigaline townlands to be first connected to National Broadband Plan network

A National Broadband Ireland van at Galmoy, near the Kilkenny-Laois border; the company is designing, building and operating Ireland's new wholesale broadband network.

National Broadband Ireland has confirmed that townlands around Carrigaline in Co Cork will be the first to connect to the National Broadband Plan’s high-speed fibre network later this year.

Nearly 4,500 premises in the area were the first of 55,000 nationwide already surveyed as part of NBI’s rollout of a fibre network to nearly 537,000 premises identified by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment as not being served with adequate broadband services.
