24 locations in Kildare are being studied under the National Broadband Plan.

The NBP is designed to deliver internet access to homes and businesses that cannot otherwise access the service, of which there are just over 14,000 in Co. Kildare

The Dept. says surveys are underway, or have been completed in: Killashee, Oughterard, Naas Rural, Rathmore, Kill, Kilteel, Carnalway, Gilltown, Ballymore Eustace, Bodenstown, Naas Urban, Newtown, Donaghcumper, Athy, Coneyboro, Aughaboura, Ballinapark, Castlemitchell, Bert, Kilberry, Kilkea, Leixlip, Celbridge and Maynooth.

This is just over 53% of the total number of premises in the county that don't have internet access.
