“What we considered to be a distant future in terms of connectivity only a couple of years ago is happening right now. We’ve heard today that technology is already changing the way we work and study, how we farm, how we communicate with each other, our health services and so many other areas. We need to keep working collectively to ensure that telecommunication services are deployed as quickly, as safely and as efficiently as possible throughout the country, while also protecting what is precious to us. This is a dynamic process - we need to keep this conversation going, we need to keep sharing our knowledge, and we need to continue to work together. Every single person in Ireland, regardless of where they live, learn, work or travel deserves a first-rate service, and together that’s what we will deliver. We need to make sure that we leave no one behind.”
