Funded by the Dept of Rural & Community Development and set up by Tipperary County Council, BCPs offer high-quality digital connectivity, supporting the sustainability of rural communities by enabling more people to continue to live and work in rural locations. They also encourage others to relocate to rural areas. Tipperary’s BCPs are widely viewed as long-term community assets, fixtures of their communities, providing next generation services to the county’s rural heartlands. BCPs have proven invaluable to local communities, supporting older people to live independently in their communities with access to more supports and services through connected technologies. In short, BCPs provide a better quality of life for people living in rural locations.
The roll-out of Broadband Connection Points (BCPs) to rural towns and villages is a key commitment under Our Rural Future, the government’s five year strategy for Rural Ireland
