Broadband commitments and Sinn Féin criticism

Summary

The Leader restated the Government’s broadband commitment, then criticised Sinn Féin on the North, Westminster abstention and European politics.

Some of Senator Ned O'Sullivan's colleagues did not do so last week. The Government is committed to reaching the 540,000 premises that require broadband services. That is the reason we are determined that broadband will be rolled out. I am amused at Senator Conway-Walsh being able to tell us the number of announcements. She should look at her own party's achievement in the North, where the party will not even go into government and its elected MPs will not even take their seats in Westminster.
