Around 4,000 homes and businesses have been reached in the first half of this year, out of a target of 115,000 by the end of 2021.
223,000 premises have already been surveyed, of which 5,963 are in Kildare.
The Kildare figure, up to May 20th, accounts for 42% of the 14,000 premises in the county without access to the service.
Nationally, network designs for more than 174,000 premises have been developed since the project commenced.
