Re: Irish phone book online search- help

Hi Kerry.

This is eircom's online phone book http://www.eircomphonebook.ie/

Be aware that it defaults to a business search, so you'll need to click on the Residential tab to get home phone numbers.

Golden Pages is another business directory - http://www.goldenpages.ie/
