In light of the difficulties experienced by marts last week it has now emerged that just 60% of marts across the country have access to ‘decent’ broadband services while 40% have poor broadband that requires upgrading.

This is according to Denis Naughten TD who says the Government's own website confirms the figures, which he added, “are solely based on a review of the Government broadband website www.Broadband.gov.ie”.
