From RTÉ News:
Mobile company O2 says it has no plans to reduce the price consumers pay to buy an Apple iPhone here.The UK arm of the company has announced that it is reducing the price of the 8gb model of the phone by £100 until 1 June.
The reduction means that, with current exchange rates, the phone now costs €209 in Northern Ireland and €399 in the Republic

This really shouldn’t come as a shock to people. Mobile networks in Ireland have been fleecing people for years, why people are expecting it to be ay different with the iPhone is beyond me, although it does bring the issue of said fleecing into the wider public consciousness. Actually, the iPhone pricing in Ireland may be the least of the problems with the way O2 is dealing with the apple handset in this country. The tariffs and paltry 1Gig data limit are far more annoying than the price of the phone.
