VIDEO: Allihies community rally together for free broadband

A rural community in West Cork is making use of the internet to, ironically, get free internet in each home thanks to an innovative online competition.

Allihies, which is the furthest parish in Ireland from the capital city, Dublin, is one of the front runners in a competition with Eir to receive free fibre broadband for the area.

In a video entry, locals discuss how easy access to the internet could improve their lives, their businesses, and their community.
