Sinn Féin slams Government for poor broadband rate

Sinn Féin's communications spokesperson Séan Crowe TD blamed Ireland’s poor take-up of broadband on the “flawed broadband policies of this Government and the Minister for Communications Noel Dempsey”.

Deputy Crowe said: “Ireland now ranks second lowest when it comes to broadband take-up in the European Union. Our telecommunications farce can be traced back to this Government’s decision to privatise Telecom Eireann (now eircom) in 1999."
