I travel in Britain quite a bit and mobile phone signals and broadband in rural areas of the North of England and all of Scotland outside Glasgow and Edinburgh is much poorer than in rural areas of Ireland. That's in a country which is far richer and has a much higher population density.We need to put structures in place for decent treatment of rural Ireland.
I believe - that regional authorities should replace the county councils.
We need to start thinking in terms of regions with regards the provision of services.
Broadband in rural Ireland is patchy. But even within the cities - it can also be poor.

Are you sure about that, the richer and higher population density I mean.
Almost 4 times the density
Britain is vastly wealthier than Ireland. It is the 5th biggest economy in the world and has been rich for 300 years as opposed to Ireland which has had high GDP rates for 25 years.As I understand it Ireland is a wealthier country than the Uk as a whole, $46,520 vs $43,390 GDP per cap according to the world bank.
The population density of Ireland is 65 people per sq km, of Scotland 67 people per sq km see ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_Scotland ). However the concentration of Scotland's population around Glasgow/Edinburgh is far greater than the concentration of Ireland's population around Dublin. Rural Ireland has more people than rural Scotland.
We really should be able to provide effective broadband throughout the country.
The people get what the people want.Anyone else feel this government is lame duck already?, any whiff of controversy and its all watered down again. FF always in the wings with populism to the fore. I cant see any hard decision being carried the way things are shaping up.
