Developing Ireland’s digital communications infrastructure is a "prerequisite" if Ireland is to maintain future global competitiveness, the chief executive of Vodafone Ireland told business leaders on Tuesday.

Vodafone Ireland chief executive Sabrina Casalta was speaking at a packed Cork Chamber Business Breakfast at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Ms Casalta was appointed in May as the company’s CEO of Irish operations, having previously served as the interim CEO and chief financial officer of Vodafone Italy.
