MINISTER FOR Communications Pat Rabbitte said he did not have a “willing partner” in fellow Labour Minister Ruairí Quinn’s Department of Education when it came to high-speed broadband for schools.

Some schools were struggling with inadequate bandwidth, but “[the department of] education hasn’t yet come around to the notion that it should address the problem.

“We cannot continue with the situation where some, if not many, pupils have better connectivity at home than they do at school.”
