ntl has announced that it has completed the sale of its telecommunications operations in the Republic of Ireland to MS Irish Cable Holdings B.V., an affiliate of Morgan Stanley, for a price of EUR 325 million. ntl intends to use the net sale proceeds to repay principal amounts outstanding under its senior credit facility in accordance with the terms of that facility.

I would like to thank everyone in ntl Ireland for all they have contributed and achieved over the past several years. They have built a strong business and we wish them continued success.”
