During his visit, Mr. MacDonald met with Janet Miles, Managing Director of GALE, and Kevin Ginty, Project Development Assistant. The discussions centred around several key concerns, with a particular emphasis on the urgent need for reliable broadband connectivity to public buildings like the GALE Centre.
