The rollout of the National Broadband Plan (NBP) is continuing to make significant progress in Leitrim.

Surveying and design works for the plan will continue in Leitrim from Wednesday, 23 November.

National Broadband Ireland (NBI) is the company undertaking the fibre network roll-out to enable high speed internet connectivity for 544,000 premises across the country.

NBI would like the public to know that contractors will be on the ground in these counties, both inspecting and recording pictures of infrastructure such as poles, cables and underground ducts. The teams have been fully trained in physical distancing practices, hygiene, appropriate use of personal protective equipment and how to engage with the public in a safe manner if and when required.
