Cobh Broadband action group met with Sean Sherlock TD in Cobh this week. This was the third meeting with representatives of the political parties of Fine Gael, Fine Fail and finally Labour.
None of them to date have been able to explain or offer solutions to the lack of high speed broadband in the mutiple blackspots of Cobh. Despite the National Broadband plans, rural broadband plans, Siro roll-out and fibre optic cable cabinets, large parts of Cobh urban area and without effective broadband.
Sean Sherlock TD expressed doubt about the government having any real plan. He undertook to speak to Richard Bruton, on Cobh’s behalf and to initiate discussions with both Eir and Siro who both held the infrastructural key to delivering product to Cobh. The group told him they believed that this was a fully political decision that had left Cobh behind, that was impeding business and depriving the residents of the town with was was deemed to be a basic ciivil right, access to decent broadband.
