Proud day for @NatBroadbandIrl celebrating 150k premises connected to the #NationalBroadbandPlan. An honor to mark the occasion with @podonovan and show the world that #Ireland can succeed in large-scale infrastructure projects.

My thoughts in today’s @IrishIndependRX…

An Easter time of peace, love and reflection no matter your religion 🙏

Like Hamas and Hezbollah, the Polisario Front is an Iranian proxy organisation. For the sake of our Moroccan allies, Western governments must move quickly to designate this group a terrorist organisation.

Our North Star at @NatBroadbandIrl must always be to serve the communities in which we do business. Thanks to @BandF for sharing my examples, plus my thoughts on how #Ireland is creating the blueprint for other nations to follow https://t.co/Y2pbEXkylL

In every decision that @NatBroadbandIrl has taken to deliver the Irish Government’s #NationalBroadbandPlan, we’ve provided a blueprint for other nations to follow on the pathway to #fullfibre #connectivity

Today at @NatBroadbandIrl we had the honor to host reps from 27 EU nations looking to learn from Ireland’s #NationalBroadbandPlan

Fascinating conversations over the weekend at #DBF24. We had some brilliant speakers discussing the positive impacts of #AI and the necessary guardrails. Thanks to everyone who came to see us.

[David C. McCourt @DCMcCourt]

How will #AI impact the health & wealth of nations? Can AI and God live together? What happens to #literature, #creativity and #education in the age of AI?

Join me at @dalkeybookfest this wkend to participate in the debate. Tickets available at https://t.co/HX3AYl7Yzq

[David C. McCourt @DCMcCourt]

Are there global rules for #AI? What role can small countries play to shape the future?

My comments in today's @Independent_ie. I also spoke to @adrianweckler for #TheBigTechShow podcast, out now: https://t.co/daptaNxFes

@cormreid @PatKennyNT @davidmcw @NewstalkFM @dalkeybookfest Shame. It’s the place to be :)

[David C. McCourt @DCMcCourt]

Looking forward to speaking with @PatKennyNT alongside @davidmcw on @NewstalkFM this morning about why we’re bringing the topic of #AI to the @dalkeybookfest and why #Ireland can take a leadership position globally in this emerging tech. Tune in at 10:20am https://t.co/D1TXC78BsK

[David C. McCourt @DCMcCourt]

An honor to join founder of the Internet @vgcerf in #CostaRica to discuss the past, present and future of the Internet in an #AI world.
Some takeaways:
- AI has to become friend, not foe
- Small countries can show leadership
- Highspeed connectivity must become a birthright

I was honored to accept the award for Outstanding Achievement from the Ireland-U.S. Council and join a great line of visionaries and leaders before me

[David C. McCourt @DCMcCourt]

In my latest article with @eolasmagazine I look at how Ireland’s #NationalBroadbandPlan proudly sits in the top 0.5 per cent of global mega projects and sets a blueprint for others to follow https://t.co/Oy8X5oQcd7

#RIP Jim Crowe. A dear friend and long time business partner, Jim and I shared a vision for fiber at the advent of the internet and data revolution. A visionary leader and great man, I’ll sorely miss him.

As innovation in #AI heats up, the race is on to find effective rules to govern its future.

In today's @Independent_ie, I share my views on PM @RishiSunak's visit to DC and why I think #Ireland is best-placed to bridge the current divides in Western regulations

[David C. McCourt @DCMcCourt]

It was a pleasure to take a trip down memory lane talking to @YahooFinance’s @_rodgilmour reminiscing on all the things I was so fortunate to learn from my first real boss, the late, great Speaker of the House, Tipp O’Neill https://t.co/T2zBqYTu8z
