London – Paul Hastings LLP, a leading global law firm, has advised Eircom Limited (eir), Ireland’s leading telecommunications company, on the finalisation of a 49.99% investment from InfraVia Capital Partners (InfraVia) into Fibre Networks Ireland Limited to create a dedicated fibre company focused on the deployment of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) across the Republic of Ireland.
