When you are building a house or moving house – getting the telephone line connected is one of the important things to remember. In Ireland – Eircom is responsible for the telephone infrastructure and connections.
Normally – getting a land line connection may involve Eircom charges from €25 euro up to €121 Euro for a new house where new  line work has to be carried out. If the previous owner or tenant asked for the line to be disconnected – there will be a charge to reconnect.
Until January 28th 2009 – Eircom are offering FREE connection for all telephone lines.  to take advantage of this offer.
