At the time of writing (late 96) the Eircell network is extensively deployed throughout the country and a good level of service is available in populated areas.
Eircell is now extending their service into the less populated regions and as the network develops the coverage provided in mountain areas will improve.
Their network is not yet as extensive as Eircell and it will probably be some years before they provide a similar level of coverage in rural areas.

But weekend reports that Vodafone was close to acquiring all or a large part of Eircell in a euro 4 billion to euro 5 billion deal are understood to be accurate.
These remaining businesses are considered undervalued within the consolidated company, and the sale of Eircell could force the market to reassess their value.
While Eircell is Eircom's most successful business, an analyst suggested it may now be a good time to sell, because it may have reached its peak given that it will face increasing competition as new mobile licences are awarded.

Irish operators Eircell and Digifone said they were holding customer "locator records" -- which can pinpoint a phone user's location to within a few dozen feet in urban areas -- for more than six years because they believed they were required to do so to comply with the Irish statute of limitations.
As with Irish operators Eircell (owned by mobile giant Vodafone) and Digifone (owned by British Telecom), Virgin said it believed it was complying with data protection law.
McAuley also said Eircell was waiting to see whether pending telecommunications amendments to the EU Data Protection Directives of 1995 and 1997 would require them to retain locator data for future investigations.
