Our mobile division, Meteor, was acquired in November 2005 and is Ireland’s third largest mobile phone operator with over one million mobile subscribers.
eircom is committed to supporting innovation in technology. This is evidenced through our long standing involvement with the eircom Golden Spiders Awards and our own annual Innovation Fund. We are delighted to extend this commitment to the eircom Junior Spider Awards which will recognise and promote the outstanding achievements of students across Ireland.
