Empowering the Black Valley Community

Eir says it has the best 5G availability in Ireland and has now extended its network to cover 550 cities, towns, and communities throughout the country, reaching over 85 percent of the population. This latest expansion brings the benefits of 5G to the Black Valley community, nestled between Beaufort and Killarney.

Eir believes that this delivery will empower the local community, stimulate innovation, and drive growth in the region. Eir says it is proud to have played a role in connecting this beautiful valley in the heart of Killarney National Park and looks forward to continuing to expand its network to benefit communities all across Ireland.

Previously, the Black Valley had to wait until 1977 to receive electricity through the rural electrification program initiated by the ESB. Now, it is swiftly catching up with the rest of the country, bypassing many areas to enjoy the fastest speeds and highest-capacity mobile network available, which also supports high-speed broadband.
