“To ask the Chief Executive to provide clarity to the situation on the
availability of broadband in Cnoc Dubh Estate, Ballyboughal?”
Reply:
Some houses situated in Cnoc Dubh Estate in Ballyboughal are within
the boundary of the Amber area of the National Broadband Plan
(NBP) Coverage Map. Other houses situated in the same housing
estate are located in the Blue area of the NBP Coverage Map.
Amber area = State intervention area, area where the state will deliver
broadband services under the NBP.

broadband services or have indicated plans to deliver broadband
services.
