Donegal County Council and Broadband Infrastructure
Donegal County Council recognises that a key element in improving the social and economic environment of our county is the provision of high quality broadband services (this is detailed in the County Development Plan 2006 -2012 Chapter 3.)
Investment from the private sector in the telecommunications infrastructure in the County has been limited, consequently Donegal County Council supports a number of interventions to stimulate improved broadband coverage in the county.
Broadly these interventions come under two headings:
- Donegal Regional Broadband Project involving the provision of high speed fibre optic Metropolitan Area Networks (M.A.N.’s) to towns over 1500 population. The attached link provides details of this project directly administered by the Information Systems Section of Donegal County Council.
