Eircom hone in on All-Ireland

EIRCOM are understood to have had advanced talks with the GAA about replacing Vodafone as associate sponsors of the All-Ireland senior football championship.

It was reported late last year that the telecommunications company were interested in joining the Association’s stable of championship backers.

However, it is believed Eircom have since tabled a bid to come on board as one of the three SFC sponsors alongside continuing patrons Super Valu and Ulster Bank.
