National Broadband Plan network build finishes in County Kerry

National Broadband Ireland has finished main infrastructure construction for the National Broadband Plan in County Kerry, Radio Kerry reported. Kerry is the sixteenth county in Ireland to complete the rollout. The total build cost in the county reached 107 million euros. [1]

The Irish government assigned National Broadband Ireland to build and run the high-speed fibre network in rural areas in 2019, according to Radio Kerry. The project aims to deliver fast internet services to rural premises across the country. [1]

National broadband plans deploy high-speed connections that are suitable for latency-sensitive tasks like online gaming and voice calls. Broadband services typically require low delay, which rules out high-latency satellite connections. [2]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, workers finished 154 new homes in County Kerry during the third quarter of 2026. Data from the Central Statistics Office showed that 48 of those completions took place in the Killarney Local Electoral Area. [3]
