THE GOVERNMENT HAS signed off on the €3 billion National Broadband Plan contract at its weekly cabinet meeting today.The Cabinet met this morning to facilitate the plan being signed off on ahead of an event to mark the occasion at a school in Wicklow later in the morning.
“This will mean 1.1 million people, mainly living and working in rural Ireland will get access to high-speed broadband [and] will not be left behind,” a government source said. It had been expected that a contract would be awarded last year but former communications minister Denis Naughten quit his post after revelations about a series of meetings with the head of the Granahan McCourt consortium David McCourt.
