Hmmm not sure. I too have heard of Telecomm Ireland and I think its a
spin off of Telecomm Eireann, working on International Business. I
read an article a few months ago where they had offices in USA and
Japan.
I may be wrong ...... but I know I say it somewhere.

| Is Eireann <> Ireland ?
Maybe they're just using the English (language) equivalent of their
name. Nothing terribly wrong with that in a country that speaks
English.

| I also worked for Telecom Eireann for a while. I think that the use of
Telecom Ireland may be to avoid the confusion caused by "Eire" being
unknown to a large part of the world.
I remember we sent a request for information to a US company and
recieved a nice letter back regretting that they do not do business
with hostile countries. It was addressed to Telecom Iran in Dublin 2.

| YEA, but if they don't use the name Eireann then noone will ever know
what it means!!
So much for their public relations office!

| Some time ago it was decided that when Telecom Eireann engaged
in international activities that they should call themselves
Telecom Ireland. It is not a new or a subsidiary company.
In addition to getting mail addressed to Telecom Iran, Dublin,
there have also been cases of Telecom Eireann, Tehran.

Pat O'Connell ! How are you this weather ?
Are you telling me that if you call me, you use Telecom Ireland's
network, but if you call Gerry you use Telecom Eireann's ? And they
said it was a monopoly !
John.
