Laois County Council have partnered with the EU and DRCD in providing and rolling out the WIFI4EU programme.
What is the WiFi4EU initiative
The WiFi4EU initiative promotes free access to Wi-Fi connectivity for citizens in public spaces including parks, squares, public buildings, libraries, health centres and museums in municipalities throughout Europe.
Rollout of WiFi4EU
The rollout of the WIFI4EU project will be carried out in the following locations –
- Portlaoise Town Centre
- Portarlington Town Centre
- Abbeyleix Main Street
- Mountmellick Main Street
- Clonaslee Main Street
Access WIFI4EU
Accessing WIFI4EU is a straightforward process that does not require the user to input any personal information or passwords. Users connect wirelessly to the WIFI4EU network and agree to the Terms and Conditions. As part of the implementation, all safeguards in relation to web content filtering will be put in place. This will ensure that only content deemed to be safe can be viewed on the internet by users.
