Cork County on the Rise: Improved broadband infrastructure is the key to sustaining Irish towns

Speakers at the Cork County on the Rise event have criticised the lack of broadband infrastructure in rural areas of Cork. They say that improving the infrastructure would allow remote working for thousands of people who currently face long commutes.

Barry Mulcahy of MSD Brinny said that the company backs its employees to work remotely where possible but said there is greater potential for even more people to do it.
