At a Carrickmacross-Castleblayney MD meeting, councillors were informed it will be December 2026 before Castleblayney is connected under the NBP.

Councillor Feeley said NBI "doesn't seem to any plan" for how it will make up covid-related backlogs.

Councillors agreed to contact SIRO in an effort to speed up broadband connectivity.

Fewer than 3,000 homes and business have been connected to high-speed broadband under the broadband plan.

The government will spend €60 million to bring high-speed broadband to the county.
