[email protected] 052 6191105 Premier County Communications Concerns It is with concern that we at County Tipperary Chamber hear of Eir’s decision to withdraw their National Broadband Plan bid. We would have concerns that businesses outside Clonmel, Cahir and our other market towns, will not be able to survive in such a scenario. Small to medium businesses need certainty to survive and the lack of a county wide 21st century broadband service is holding back enterprise. We would urge the Minister and the Government to prioritise the roll out of high speed, uncongested broadband for all. Fears for the future of high speed broadband in Tipp as Eir pulls the plug - hear more from Tipp FM Four Months Free Home Insurance. Want some? Saving money on your Home Insurance can be great fun.
