Island off Donegal set for the country's first subsea high-speed broadband cable

An island off the coast of Co Donegal could be set for the country's first subsea high-speed broadband cable after a tender was issued by the local authority.

Arranmore Island is already synonymous with broadband speeds quicker than many places on the mainland due to an initiative between islanders and mobile company Three, which also led to the opening last year of a digital hub as part of a campaign to attract people back to the island.
