In 2023, Sky plans to enter Ireland's mobile market

“This news represents a key milestone” for Sky Ireland’s expansion in Ireland, according to CEO, JD Buckley.

Following a wholesale relationship between Vodafone and Sky, which employs around 1,000 people in Ireland, Sky will be able to enter the Irish mobile market.

Vodafone CEO Anne O’Leary expressed her joy at the company’s decision to join up with Sky and make mobile services available in Ireland.

It “enhances mobile options for customers throughout the nation and underscores Vodafone’s commitment to offering competitive wholesale access to Ireland’s best mobile network,” she stated.

Telecom companies are engaged in fierce competition.

There are already a number of established players in the Irish mobile industry that are competing with Sky’s entry into the fray.
