Better Video Calls with Family Abroad

Ireland has one of the largest diasporas in the world relative to its population, and it shows in how often video calls happen here. A weekly Sunday call with a son in Australia, a grandchild's bedtime story read over FaceTime to Boston, or a group call catching up with cousins in London: these calls have become a genuine part of family life, not an occasional treat.

What to Do With Your Old Phone After Upgrading with Virgin Media

Ireland recycled a record 21.1 million electrical items in 2025, up from 18.8 million the year before, according to WEEE Ireland. That's real progress — but industry figures suggest that for every ten new tech products sold in Ireland, only around four are eventually handed back for recycling at the end of their life.
