A number of Donegal islands are being surveyed to be included on the National Broadband Plan for high-speed internet connection.
Surveying works are already complete on seven islands around the coast including Owey Island off the coast of Donegal.
Arranmore Island already has a high-speed broadband connection and boasts its own digital hub while surveying works are pending for the rest of the island.
Surveying works are pending for other islands including Tory Island.
NBI chief executive officer Peter Hendrick said that the contractor’s mission is “to ensure that no community is left behind under the National Broadband Plan, no matter how rural or remote their location, and this obviously includes our offshore islands”.
“We are very proud that we will provide connectivity to the islands as part of our work.
“Our planners and surveyors will collaborate with the local authority, relevant stakeholders and island residents at every step of the way,” Hendrick pledged.
