SIRO, the ESB and Vodafone joint venture company currently rolling out a €1 billion Gigabit broadband network across Ireland, has announced that its services are now available to 50,000 homes and businesses in Dublin City, and to 100,000 premises overall across the wider Dublin area. The €100 million rollout is part of a strategy to make services powered by SIRO available to areas underserved by fibre to the home broadband. The expansion in the capital follows close collaboration with Dublin City Council's Telecoms Unit and with the broadband officers in the other three Dublin local authorities to advance its Dublin network roll-out. Within Dublin City Council's borders this includes 'new' SIRO areas such as Dublin's Docklands, East Wall, Walkinstown, Kimmage and Crumlin. SIRO's network is already well established in other parts of the city such as Fairview, Raheny, Finglas, Artane or Coolock. This is in addition to SIRO's expanded network footprint across the four Dublin local authority areas, which now encompasses more than 30 suburban towns from Balbriggan in Fingal as far south as Shankill in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown. SIRO plans to continue to build across Dublin city and county where other commercial opportunities exist. Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daithí de Róiste noted: "This is a really positive investment for Dublin, and I am delighted that the City Council have been able to support SIRO in the delivery of this essential digital infrastructure particularly in areas such as East Wall, Docklands. Kimmage and Crumlin. We need to ensure that all of our communities have access to high quality broadband services and are not left behind as the adoption of new technologies and digital services continue to accelerate." SIRO John Keaney Chief Executive Officer, noted: "The presumption that our cities already enjoy universal full fibre connectivity can be inaccurate. Poor broadband can exist in areas of our cities and its suburbs, just as much as it can be found in more remote areas. "Yet, future-proofed and reliable fibre connectivity is key to the economic life of our capital city and in all the communities which make up its constituent parts. "SIRO is rolling out our network across Dublin, city and county, because a real need exists to address existing connectivity blackspots. By now reaching areas underserved by fibre to the home broadband, such as the Docklands, East Wall or Crumlin and Walkinstown, we are striving to ensure these areas have the broadband infrastructure essential for the future wider social and economic development of the city," added Mr. Keaney. Smart City Program Manager at Dublin City Council, Jamie Cudden stated: "Investments like this from SIRO support our ambition to future-proof Dublin ensuring that we can take advantage of new and emerging technology trends. When we established our Telecoms Unit in 2022, we committed to work with the telecoms sector to help streamline and accelerate network rollout through better co-ordination and collaboration. The real winners here are communities across Dublin who will have access to world class digital infrastructure and choice of providers." SIRO is a joint venture between ESB and Vodafone, formed in 2015, to roll out a new full fibre broadband network across Ireland. To date, SIRO has rolled out network to every county in Ireland with its broadband network in over 135 towns and cities and available to almost 550,000 homes and businesses nationwide. The company is on track to reach 700,000 premises by 2026. More about Irish Tech News Irish Tech News are Ireland's No. 1 Online Tech Publication and often Ireland's No.1 Tech Podcast too.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2g5gttte Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Notice issued by Irish Water regarding strike action. Fógra eisithe ag Uisce Éireann maidir le stailc. Irish Water has indicated that the water supply may be disrupted in various parts of the country due to a strike underway by workers in several local authorities. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag Uisce Éireann go mb'fhéidir go gcuirfí isteach ar an soláthar uisce in áiteanna éagsúla sa tír mar gheall ar stailc atá ar bun ag oibrithe i roinnt údarás áitiúil. The workers from the Unite trade union are demanding to retain their status as public servants when they are transferred to Irish Water. Tá na hoibrithe ón gceardchumann Unite ag éileamh a stádas mar sheirbhísigh phoiblí a choinneáil nuair a aistreofar iad go hUisce Éireann. The workers are not satisfied with what the Workplace Relations Commission proposed last year about the issue and they want to engage in discussions again with the other interested parties. Níl na hoibrithe sásta le cuid dar mhol an Coimisiún um Chaidreamh san Áit Oibre anuraidh faoin gceist agus tá siad ag iarraidh dul i mbun comhráite arís leis na páirtithe leasmhara eile. According to them, however, the Local Government Management Agency is not willing to talk to them at the moment and that the strike is the best option. Dar leo, áfach, nach bhfuil an Ghníomhaireacht Bainistíochta Rialtais Áitiúil sásta labhairt leo faoi láthair agus gurb in é is siocair leis an stailc. Irish Water says the company has issued a water withdrawal notice - just in case - in some areas of Waterford and Tipperary due to the strike. Deir Uisce Éireann go bhfuil fógra beirithe uisce eisithe ag an gcomhlacht – ar eagla na heagla – i gceantair áirithe i bPort Láirge agus i dTiobraid Árann mar gheall ar an stailc. In that case, says the company, there could be a delay in repair work in some other places, such as South Dublin; Carlow; Cork City; Co Cork; Kerry; Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown; Fingal; Galway City; Wexford; and Louth. Ina cheann sin, a deir an comhlacht, d'fhéadfadh moill a bheith ar obair dheisiúcháin i roinnt áiteanna eile, mar atá, Baile Átha Cliath Theas; Ceatharlach; Cathair Chorcaí; Co Chorcaí; Ciarraí; Dún Laoghaire-Ráth an Dúin; Fine Gall; Cathair na Gaillimhe; Loch Garman; agus Lú. The company says it has consulted hospitals and nursing centers in those areas. Deir an comhlacht go bhfuil comhairle curtha acu ar ospidéil agus ar ionaid altranais sna ceantair sin. The workers will be on strike again tomorrow but they will be available to deal with emergencies. Beidh na hoibrithe ar stailc arís amárach ach beidh siad ar fáil le dul i ngleic le héigeandálacha.

The Open Data Climate Action Challenge launched in April of this year, seeking ideas and applications that use open data to support and encourage climate action. Seven shortlisted projects were given two months to develop tools, dashboards, analyses and applications which address the climate crisis in some shape or form. All projects use data published on Ireland's National and/or Dublin Region open data repositories and all address climate action in some shape or form. At a Showcase Webinar later today project owners will demonstrate how their solutions support climate action and how stakeholders and how the wider public can engage with them. And the best projects will be awarded prizes. More details on the webinar can be found further down. What solutions were developed? In all, seven potentially impactful projects created new applications or built on existing ones using open data and other resources. A brief description of each solution follows: GoZeroWaste App The Go Zero Waste App is designed to support waste reduction through encouraging use of refill stations for water bottles, bulk stores for unpacketed goods, charity and second hand stores, and so forth. For the Challenge, this App was populated with open data and other data relevant to Dublin and launched with gamification and prizes. Download the app here. Nature Based Solutions Zoning Map Nature Based Solutions use nature and biodiversity to help address potential climate change effects- such as Flooding. This interactive map shows where deficiencies in ecosystem services and social need exist and can serve as a decision support tool: optimising the location and implementation of Nature Based Solutions. Check it out. Cycling Infrastructure Optimisation Tool This project presents an analysis of data relating to active travel in order to identify optimal locations for provision of cycling infrastructure (e.g. cycle lanes) and for where bikeshare scheme services might expand into. Findings will be showcased at the webinar and accessible online. iAdapt Game iAdapt is a climate change adaptation educational game aimed at teenagers and Transition Year students, among others. Through the Challenge, the game was improved by adding flooding datasets and undertaking engagement activities. Try out the iAdapt online game for yourself, it's free. Invasive Species Dashboard This project created an interactive online map/ dashboard to visualise invasive species, with a particular focus on potentially threatened woodlands. Have a look to check where your local native woodlands are and if they are under threat from any of the five invasive species included. Optimising Locations for, and use of, Remote Working Hubs: an online tool Remote working hubs have potential to provide an effective workplace environment closer to people's homes, with positive effects on traffic congestion and vehicle emissions. This project used data science and machine learning approaches to help model optimal sites for locating remote hubs as well as to identify ways to increase awareness and usage of them. Energy Calculator Infographics This project set out to create ‘citizen and business energy infographics' which combine data visualisations and narrative- and illustrate how by taking specific measures, individuals and organisations can positively impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown councillors have passed a motion to change the name of Orwell Road where the Russian Embassy is located to 'Independent Ukraine Road.' Following Latvia, Norway, Albania and Lithuania. Orwell Road is from Rathgar in Dublin 6 (a part of Dublin City Council) to Churchtown. The Russian Embassy is in the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Section of the road. Henry McKean visited the Russian Embassy on Orwell Road and met locals and protesters. Henry asked about the proposed name change and what do they consider a protest to be? Is graffiti and vandalism an effective protest, or a boycott of gas and oil? (The locals will have the final say with a plebiscite about the name change.)

The Wicklow town of Bray is soon to be part of Dublin. Wicklow County Council has worked out a deal with The Department of the Environment to give the town of Bray to Dun Laoghaire Rathdown.

In this exclusive report Henry McKean speaks to the people of Bray, including the small section of the town already in the Dublin border. Henry asked: How do you feel with the whole of Bray becoming a part of county Dublin?

This week on What's the Story? Podcast we change gears and welcome our first Politician to our ranks. Richard Boyd Barrett is TD (Member of Irish Parliament) for the constituency of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown located in South Dublin. After over a decade of political campaigning, Richard was elected to Dáil Éireann in the 2011 general election and has become one of the most prominent voices amongst the anti government opposition. He is a member of the People Before Profit party and is also one of the 16 TDs that make up the Dáil Technical Group. We spoke to Richard about growing up in his constituency, playing football for every team in the borough and how he came to get involved with politics and campaigns. Having grown up in a relatively affluent area and attending one of Ireland's most elite private schools, its been a long road to campaigning for social justice; a road that brought Richard to London, Israel and back again. It was in Israel in the late eighties that Richard was exposed to politics in a way that would inspire him to get involved upon his return to Ireland. We heard all about his early days in the Socialist Workers Party and his involvement in campaigns from Save our Seafront and opposing the water charges. Danny admits he didn't vote for Richard in the last election while Mero proudly admits he did, Danny then does his best to question things like social housing, welfare and opposition to Ireland's low corporation tax rate. All of this and we hear about Lindsey's adventures with BJJ and her upcoming MMA debut, Mero has pink eye, Toblerone banter and Danny continues to spread the word of secret messages within company logos. You can check out all our previous chapters with guests including Paul Stenson, Paul Howard, Tony McGregor, Pat Flynn, Cian Cowley Saskia Tidey and many more by searching WTSpod on iTunes, Stitcher, Podbean and all podcast outlets on Android. Rate, review, subscribe and let us know what you think!
