Eircom has invested an estimated €15 million in its partnership with Special Olympics Ireland over the past 30 years.

It is Ireland’s longest corporate social responsibility partnership and its entry into its fourth decade this year coincides with Ireland’s participation in the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles this July.

Lisa Comerford, director of brand and communications at Eircom, said the sponsorship has developed into a partnership over the years.
