Commenting on the announcement, Danuta Gray, O2 Ireland CEO, said, "The iPhone is changing the way people use their mobiles forever, and we're thrilled to offer it to O2 customers in Ireland. Our strategy in Ireland continues to be to bring our customers the very best innovations and experiences in mobile communications."
Three new iPhone tariffs will be available from O2, starting at €45, all of which will include anytime minutes, texts and a 1GB data bundle.
The current official markets for Apple are USA (AT&T), UK (O2), Germany (T-Mobile) and France (Orange) - and unofficially, quite a lot seem to be sold in China.
