11 solid quarters of growth, and counting! This morning's announcement where we shared revenue growth in the second quarter of 2%, and a rise in EBITDA of 5% year on year, is a clear reflection of the strength and consistency of eir Ireland's strategy. We remain firmly committed to building Ireland’s most advanced telecommunications infrastructure, combining the nation’s largest fibre network with 99% 5G mobile coverage to deliver world-class connectivity to homes and businesses. Our fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network, the largest in Ireland, is now available to over 1.4 million homes and businesses. This milestone means that approximately 3.6 million people across the country can access high-speed, full-fibre connectivity, reinforcing Ireland’s position as one of Europe’s most digitally connected nations. We have also reached 99% nationwide 5G coverage, with mobile network traffic rising 65% year-on-year. The rollout of more than 850 new mobile sites and fibre backhaul to 1,300 locations has significantly improved speed and capacity, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Building on our first-to-market launch of WiFi 7 in Q1, this quarter, we introduced 5 Gigabit (5Gbps) fibre broadband service, setting a new benchmark for speed, performance, and reliability in Irish homes and businesses. This new standard in performance and reliability comes at a pivotal moment as we accelerate the transition to full fibre, ensuring Ireland’s digital infrastructure is future ready. I'm proud that with every quarter we’re building stronger networks, providing better services, and connecting for a better Ireland. #eirforall

Proud to be featured in Business Plus this week, sharing critical insights on the rise of AI-driven cybercrime in Ireland. Our latest intelligence shows that 70% of Irish organisations have sensitive credentials circulating on the dark web — leaving finance, healthcare, and government sectors exposed to AI-powered phishing, deepfakes, and ransomware. With #AI adoption now at 91% and #SocialEngineering tactics increasing, the attack surface is growing faster than most security strategies can adapt. Traditional filters and basic awareness training simply aren’t enough anymore. The message is clear: business leaders need to act now — investing in intelligence-led defences and closing the readiness gap before it becomes tomorrow’s headline breach.
