SIRO’S Full Fibre Broadband On The Way To Birr

SIRO, Ireland’s leading fibre broadband network operator, today announced that works to bring its 100% fibre broadband network to Birr are now well advanced. The first premises in the town will be able to order SIRO’s full fibre broadband during autumn 2025.

Once the rollout is complete, high-speed, reliable broadband will be available to 2,300 Birr premises, homes and businesses, overall.

Construction works in Birr are already underway and are expected to fully complete in late November.

 

To facilitate the network rollout, a limited number of planned electricity outages will be required during the months August to November inclusive. Impacted residents and businesses will be notified in advance of these outages by ESB Networks, with SIRO and ESB Networks working closely to minimise disruption.

Areas that will be covered by the rollout include, but are not limited to: Barracks Street, Bridge Street, Cemetery Road, High Street, Hollypark, Military Road, School Road, Seefin, Westgate and Woodlane.

SIRO’s full fibre broadband network, with speeds of up to 2 Gigabits for homes and 10 Gigabits for businesses, will provide Birr residents and businesses with fast and future proofed connectivity, enabling everything from seamless remote working or video streaming to supporting local enterprises in their digital growth.

Over the longer term, SIRO’s full fibre broadband network has the capacity to reach speeds of up to 25 Gigabits, ensuring Birr will have high quality connectivity for decades to come.

SIRO already enjoys a strong network footprint across the wider Midlands, including in Tullamore, Portlaoise, Athlone, Mullingar and Carlow town.

Commenting on SIRO’s arrival in Birr, John Keaney, SIRO Chief Executive Officer stated:

“SIRO is pleased to be the first broadband operator to bring a full fibre broadband network to Birr. Investing in Birr is part of SIRO’s commitment to delivering high-quality fibre broadband to towns across Ireland.

“Access to reliable, high-speed broadband is essential for supporting Birr’s local businesses, enabling remote work, and improving quality of life for the local community.

“Residents and businesses in Birr, particularly those frustrated by slow, unfit for purpose copper broadband will shortly be able to experience the full benefits of SIRO’s fibre-to-the-home broadband,” added Mr. Keaney.
