3 Clare national schools are to receive broadband access within two years.
The government has announced that, as part of a speeding up of the rollout of the National Broadband Plan, high-speed internet connectivity will be delivered to 679 primary schools nationally by the end of 2022, even though some had been expected to have to wait for up to seven years.
