EIRCOM HAS ANNOUNCED a double digit fall in revenues and earnings for the year to the end of June.
Revenues for the year to the end of June fell by €174m to €1.5bn, while the company’s earnings before interest adn tax fell by €104m to €542m.
The company continued to shed retail broadband customers but the number of mobile phone customers it had grew by 4 per cent to 1,076,000.
“The performance of the business continues to decline, but this was in line with our expectations. We must do more to retain our customers, stabilise our revenues and grow our profitability” said Herb Hribar, Eircom CEO.
He said that the telecoms market is witnessing intense competition from other operators, but that the company was endeavouring to do what it could to return to fortunes.
“Eircom will do more to fight for, retain existing customers and even win back former customers,” he said.

It is time to renationalise waste collection services.

“Dublin City Council is aware of reports of issues regarding waste collection in certain parts of the city and couldn’t give a fúck”
That was a rubbish story
It’s a pity that the private companies were allowed to take over for profit from the public service who were doing a great job on waste disposal. It’s a shame this story did not get the same attention as the water protest
