Vodafone first entered the Irish market in May 2001, after acquiring Eircell in the largest deal ever in Irish corporate history, but our origins date back to 1984, when Ireland’s first mobile phone service was launched as part of the former state telco Telecom Eireann. Operating under the separate brand, Eircell, it enjoyed huge expansion in the late 1990s as mobile telephony was embraced in Ireland.
As part of the Vodafone Group, we are now one of the world's largest mobile communications companies by revenue with approximately 371 million customers in its controlled and jointly controlled markets as at 31 March 2011. Vodafone currently has equity interests in over 30 countries across five continents and more than 40 partner networks worldwide.
