Broadband plan implementation almost complete in Kildare

The National Broadband Plan, one of the largest infrastructural investments in rural Ireland, is nearing completion in Kildare, with 14,657 high-speed fibre broadband connections now available at homes, farms, and businesses across the county. Just 197 premises remain to be connected in the coming months. 

Initiated in 2020, the project is nearing completion within budget and on schedule. Kildare South TD and Minister for Agriculture, Martin Heydon, has welcomed the progress, highlighting the plan’s role in enabling remote work, online education, technological access for farmers, and global business reach. 

He expressed his satisfaction with the delivery of this significant investment, saying it is the modern-day equivalent of the rural electrification scheme begun in 1946, and he emphasised the necessity for future-proof connectivity across the country.
