eir is an Irish telecommunications operator headquartered in Dublin. It sells broadband, mobile and TV services to households, and fixed voice and network connectivity to businesses, including a business IP network platform for larger and mid-sized customers. Organisations buy these as network and telephony services rather than as software they run themselves. The business unit operates in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The operating company Eircom Limited, trading as eir, is incorporated in Jersey. Its majority shareholders are the French companies Iliad SA and NJJ Holding, which together form the majority, while Anchorage Capital is a major minority shareholder. Because the majority holders are French, the parent sits in an EU member state. The public pages do not state where customer data is hosted or provide a GDPR statement, so a European organisation should check hosting locations and processing terms before contracting. Shareholdings may have changed since then.
