Urlingford’s “Community Digital Equity” project was also shortlisted for today’s awards.

Councillor Maria Dollard is hailing the work done by a local community group and talking to Sue Nunn on The Way It Is says she’s always been impressed by the ambition of their plan.

“I remember seeing Brian from Piltown talking about how they were going to bring broadband to their town, they weren’t going to wait for it to be rolled out because they didn’t think that they would kind of get it in time. So they did, and you know, they were at the forefront of Kilkenny of deciding they were going to make sure they had a hub, that they were going to bring people in to their town. They might spend money in a ccoffee shop or whatever it was and it’s great to see they were the overall winners”
