    Does anyone know what the story is with broadband coming to Cavan town? Has Eircom forgot about us altogether. There are three second level schools in the town as well as two primary ones. It has the biggest third level plc college out side of Dublin and a new library costing 10 million is been built. Surely they can’t expect this library to run with ISDN. I have rang Eircom numerous times and can’t get any info out of them.
