COMMUNITY NOTES: BALLYHAUNIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (FEBRUARY 4 EDITION)
The Ballyhaunis area will be connected to high-speed broadband within 18 months, according to staff from the National Broadband Ireland (NBI) who were in the town recently on a surveying expedition. Staff in high visibility jackets were seen around Ballyhaunis town and in surrounding townlands, examining cables.
NBI staff told this column they surveyed the cabling in situ in Dunmore and Cloonfad before spending several days examining cable and cabling options in Ballyhaunis.
“Some of it will go underground but some will also go overground,” an NBI staff member said. “It will be installed in 12 to 18 months,” he added.
