Cllr John Reilly at Cooley Kickhams
After a very long time in the planning and more than a few problems along the way, Cllr John Reilly said that a free Broadband Connection Pint (BCP) Wi-Fi point is now available in the Cooley Kickhams complex in Monksland.
Cllr Reilly said: "This is a tremendous cornerstone for the Cooley complex building going forward.
"The opportunity now exists for a high-speed digital hub which has endless possibilities going forward for the local community.
Coming into politics at the height of the lockdown, Cllr Reilly claims the lack of high-speed broadband in so many rural areas was a disadvantage.
"A short number of years ago, the concept of working from home was practically non-existent", Cllr Reilly said.
"The absence of highspeed broadband in any rural area is a hindrance to economic development and growth.
"This was all brought about by funding from Minister Heather Humphreys. Her department played a huge role in seeing these developments through."
Cllr Reilly said he would like to thank all the committee of the Cooley Kickhams GFC for their wonderful cooperation in this process.
