    Thanks for the plug and kind words Muck, appreciate it!

    As I mentioned in another thread, we are currently advertising in local shop windows etc and the response since we launched about a week ago has been quite promising. We will shortly be doing a door-to-door leaflet drop to ensure that as many people as possible know about the campaign but if any of you have any friends or family in Kinnegad I would appreciate if you mentioned the site to them and ask them to register their interest.

    Fingers crossed we reach our aim of getting broadband in Kinnegad shortly!

    I'm in Clonard but I have voted anyway

    Spoke to a friendly eircom engineer about Kinnegad exchange being enabled and he thought that if lagan cement made a push Eircom might give it a priority.

    might be worth finding out if anyone knows someone in Lagan Cement with the clout to do anything about this.

    Thanks jwt,

    I spoke to a local eircom engineer one day outside my house, he said that Lagan Cement have a 1MB leased line and Primary Rate ISDN. He also said that there was tons of capacity/backhaul in the Kinnegad exchange as all the optical fiber that goes from Dublin to the West passes through the Kinnegad exchange.

    Depending on how things go I may approach Lagan Cement to look for support and see if a heavyweight can help us swing things with eircom.

    Thanks for your vote and offer of help, just make sure all your friends near Kinnegad vote for Broadband on the site!

    Many thanks,

    Will spread the word here in Clonard

    The Monsignor (Eamon Marron?) in Kinnegad is a surprisingly progressive go get them type. He is pushing hard for Kinnegad to be put on the map with a rail spur and very pro the proposed industrial estate. I would think that if the benefits of broadband were explained to him he would be a helpful ally. I would offer to do this but I think he might be a bit preoccupied excommunicating me :)

    Check your pm (you've got to love the irony of that statement) and let me know if you require financial assistance re the website
