Funding has been approved for 9 Broadband Connection Points in Mayo, to ensure the locations are ready to receive high-speed broadband, as part of the rollout of the National Broadband Plan.
Minister Michael Ring has allocated €600 each for 319 locations nationally - including 9 in Mayo.
The Broadband Connection Point locations include community centres, schools, public buildings and sports facilities.
Minister Ring says the rollout of the long-awaited rural broadband is dependent on these connection points.
