UP to 2,000 premises in Kinsale will have access to fibre broadband by spring 2025, network operator Siro announced. 

The initial rollout areas include Butcher Row, Rath Beg, Rath More, Abbey-Lands, and Cappagh, with access for 531 premises. An additional 500 premises are planned for December, with another 910 set to go live by March 2025. 

Areas earmarked for future connection include Ballynacubby, Commoge, Dromderrig, Town Plots, Scilly, Ardbrack, Forthill, and Troopers Close.

Siro has passed close to 86,000 premises in the county, enabling connectivity in towns including Bandon, Carrigaline, Skibbereen, and Crosshaven.

Nationally, Siro aims to pass over 700,000 premises by 2026. Already, more than 600,000 homes and businesses are connected, as part of a €1bn investment in the fibre broadband network.

‘Our network ensures that Kinsale’s residents and businesses can thrive, whether it’s through seamless remote working, online learning, or growing their businesses,’ said Siro chief executive John Keaney.
