SIRO’s Full Fibre Broadband On The Way To Mountmellick

SIRO, Ireland’s leading fibre broadband network operator, today announced the commencement of works to bring its 100% fibre broadband network to Mountmellick, representing an investment of approximately €2 million in the town. Once the rollout is complete, high-speed, reliable broadband will be available to 1,940 premises, including homes and businesses. 

Construction works will commence in March and are expected to complete in May. As part of the build, planned electricity outages will be required between the week of 19th of March and the week of the 28th of April inclusive, coordinated with ESB Networks. Impacted residents will be notified in advance of these outages, with SIRO and ESB Networks working closely to minimise disruption.  

Areas that will be covered by the rollout include, but are not limited to: Willow Grove, Grange Hall, St Josephs Terrace, Esker Gate, Manor Grove, Ash Grove, Silverwood Kirwan Park, Hawthorn Ave, Twomey Terrace, and Pattisons Estate. 

SIRO’s full fibre network, with speeds of up to 2Gb, will provide Mountmellick residents and businesses with world-class connectivity, enabling everything from seamless remote working and 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, allowing the town to have fast reliable broadband for decades to come.  

The expansion into Mountmellick is part of SIRO’s mission to bring future-proof broadband infrastructure to towns across Ireland. In County Laois, SIRO has passed 14,000 premises, already enabling connectivity in Portlaoise and Portarlington. 

SIRO already enjoys a strong and growing footprint across Laois and the wider Midlands. This also includes Tullamore Athlone, Mullingar and Carlow town. 

SIRO’s national rollout aims to pass over 700,000 premises by 2026. Already, more than 630,000 homes and businesses in 142 towns and cities across Ireland can access SIRO’s full fibre network, due to SIRO’s €1 billion investment in building a high-quality fibre broadband network.  

Commenting on the expansion, John Keaney, SIRO Chief Executive Officer said: 

“Investing in Mountmellick 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 local businesses, enabling remote work, and improving quality of life. We are excited to bring our transformative fibre broadband to Mountmellick”.
