Some houses in rural Ireland are getting broadband, while their neighbours can't.
That's according to Carlow Kilkenny Fianna Fail TD Bobby Aylward who has raised the issue in the Dáil once again.
He cited a family of eleven living in New Ross who can't get a connection - when the houses either side of them can.
"Why can't this man... who lives three miles outside New Ross [get] broadband?" he said.
"I've fought two or three elections in the meantime and he still comes [back] with the same [issue] when I knock on his door."
Deputy Aylward stated he can't understand how that can happen.
The questions follow Taoiseach Leo Varadkar's remarks in late December that "the boat may have sailed" on the State owning Ireland’s national broadband plan.
The Taoiseach added that Ireland has up to 75% coverage across the country when it comes to high-speed broadband, but that the other 25% were feeling “even more left behind”.
