One Westmeath secondary school doesn't have 100Mbps broadband

All second level schools in Longford and Westmeath have a 100Mbps high speed connection except for one school in Westmeath, Minister Pat Rabbitte has said in the Dáil.

He didn’t say which one doesn’t have 100Mbps yet (do you know which it is?) but said it would be connected following the completion of major building work at the school.

The minister’s written statement was in reply to Nicky McFadden, TD, who had submitted this query:

‘To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide information on the current standard of broadband provided to second level schools in Longford and Westmeath; and if he will make a statement on the matter.’

This is Minister Rabbitte’s reply:

All post-primary schools in Ireland will have a 100Mbps broadband connection installed by the end of 2014, through a project jointly funded by the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resource and the Department of Education and Skills.

The national rollout, which commenced in 2012, will be completed on an incremental basis. In 2012, 200 schools were connected across 14 counties, including Longford and Westmeath. The total number of schools now connected across the country stands at 278.

All second level schools in Longford and Westmeath have a 100Mbps high speed connection except for one school in Westmeath, which will be connected following the completion of major building work at the school.
