Ireland AM to broadcast live from Kilkenny to mark launch of new broadband expansion

Ireland AM will be in town next week as Virgin Media Ireland announces expanded access to high-speed broadband for homes and businesses across Kilkenny, through its continued partnership with National Broadband Ireland (NBI).

As part of the campaign, Virgin Media is extending the availability of its services via the NBI network, enabling more Kilkenny residents to benefit from fast, reliable connectivity. The initiative supports broader national efforts to enhance broadband access, helping to power remote working, education, and local enterprise.

To mark the expansion, Ireland’s longest running breakfast TV show, Ireland AM will broadcast live from Kilkenny on Thursday, June 18, shining a spotlight on the city with a morning of live segments and local guests.

As part of the rollout, Virgin Media is introducing a limited-time broadband offer for Kilkenny residents, with 500Mb speeds available from just €30 per month for 12 months. The four-week promotion will commence next week, from June 15.

The expansion of services through the NBI network forms part of a wider national push to ensure that homes, farms, and businesses across Ireland can access fast, dependable broadband, supporting economic growth and enhancing quality of life.

Paul Higgins, VP of Commercial at Virgin Media Ireland, said: “Through our partnership with National Broadband Ireland and the ‘Bring it Home’ campaign, we are proud to extend Virgin Media’s high-speed broadband to more homes and businesses across Kilkenny. Reliable connectivity is essential for how people live and work today, and this expansion ensures communities in the region have greater choice and strong performance in Ireland’s growing digital economy.”
