The plan will now connect just 35,000 homes and businesses by the end of the year - compared to the latest target of 60,000.

The initial aim was 115,000, but that was scaled back due to delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Roscommon/Galway TD Denis Naughten says the delays are due in part to the failure of Government to address bottlenecks in the planning and regulatory system.

Deputy Naughten says the situation is unacceptable.
