 Broadband deficit — Techcentral   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Labour spokesperson on communications, marine and natural resources, Tommy Broughan, TD has called on Minister Noel Dempsey to make broadband his number one priority for 2006.
Broughan argues that based on regulator Comreg's latest broadband figures, radical and urgent action is required to address Ireland's broadband deficit.
This is up from around 175,000 subscribers in the middle of last year but Broughan believes that, at this rate, it is highly unlikely the government's target of 400,000 subscribers before the end of 2006 would be reached.

Most recently in the news: Broughan is Labour's spokesperson on Enterprise, Trade and Employment and on Social and Community Affairs.
He said claims by the Government that it had invested the necessary resources in social inclusion did not stand up to scrutiny, adding that poverty and disadvantage still blighted the lives of thousands of families throughout Ireland.
"The fact that the gap between rich and poor has increased during the five most prosperous years in the history of the State is a damning indictment of the FF/PD government." Mr Broughan's constituency is to be reduced to a three-seater in the next election.
