A FIRST in a series of information evening about the use and potential benefits of IFA Broadband in Clare will take place this week. The meet- ing and demonstration will take place at the Doonbeg Community Development Centre on Wednes- day March 28 at 8pm and is aimed
at people from the whole Loophead area.
IFA Telecom is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Irish Farmers As- sociation which is dedicated to pro- viding the best possible value in telecommunications to members and associates. All profits made as a result of IFA Telecoms goes to help fund the work of the association on
behalf of its members.
“This is a service that rural com- munities have been crying out for. People are tired of waiting for Eir- com to update their local exchange to receive Broadband. The fact of the matter is that approximately 80 per cent of rural homes and businesses cannot get Broadband over their telephone line and this is not going
to change anytime soon,’ said Ray Breen, IFA Broadband Development Manager.
The IFA currently has a number of wireless access points around the Loophead area as well as Corofin, Kilfenora and Ruan. A new service is now in Kilmaley. For more info contact IFA Telecom by phone at O01 4265512.
