Where it all started

Arranmore has been working with Three Ireland, one of Ireland’s mobile operators, to become the first of Ireland’s islands with an offshore internet/digital hub.

The island now boasts high-speed broadband which helps its 469 residents stay connected.

Now they want to step it up a notch. 

Arranmore’s population has spent years in decline, and it’s now looking to revive the island both economically and socially with the help of its new high-speed connection.
