Vodafone is Ireland's leading total communications provider with over 2.4 million mobile and fixed subscribers. We employ approximately 1200 people in various locations around Ireland; almost half of whom work in customer care, providing customer support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Vodafone makes significant investments building and maintaining our networks and to date, we have invested over €800 million developing our mobile network in Ireland as part of a €1bn investment programme. Vodafone continues to invest to enhance our network.
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 382 million customers in its controlled and jointly controlled markets as at 30 June 2011. Vodafone currently has equity interests in over 30 countries across five continents and more than 40 partner networks worldwide. For more information, please visit www.vodafone.com.
