Galway Bay fm newsroom - A local TD is calling for the Government to establish a single 5G network to provide 100% coverage to rural areas.
Deputy Denis Naughten says under the newly launched National Digital Strategy, the target is only to cover all populated areas by 2030.
He argues this is a very low benchmark and more needs to be done.
Deputy Naughten says there's already plans to rollout a 5G network exclusively for emergency services - and this could also serve rural areas with no coverage.
