Broadband launch turned into nakedly political by-election stunt, claims Fine Gael TD.
A high-profile broadband launch in Co Clare has been accused of being a nakedly political stunt ahead of the upcoming by-election in the constituency.
The launch, which was attended by Fine Gael TD Martin Heydon, was meant to highlight the importance of broadband infrastructure in rural areas.
However, critics have claimed that the event was staged to boost the party’s chances in the by-election, which is due to take place in the coming weeks.
According to sources, the event was planned months in advance, but the timing of the launch has raised eyebrows given the proximity to the by-election.
Heydon has denied any wrongdoing, saying that the launch was a genuine effort to promote the importance of broadband in rural areas.
However, opponents have accused him of using the event to garner publicity and boost his chances in the by-election.
It is understood that the launch was attended by a number of local business leaders and community representatives, who were invited to the event to showcase the benefits of broadband in the area.
However, critics have claimed that the event was staged to create a photo opportunity for Heydon, rather than to genuinely promote the importance of broadband in the area.
Heydon has been a vocal advocate for the importance of broadband in rural areas, and has been critical of the government’s handling of the issue.
However, his opponents have accused him of hypocrisy, saying that he is only now highlighting the issue because it is a key issue in the by-election.
It is understood that the launch was funded by the government, and that Heydon was invited to attend the event as a guest of honour.
