No that I know of, but UPC did confirm earlier this year that they were making 200 people redundant. The Irish press reported that this was because UPC Ireland and VM were merging.

I've been advised the rebrand will be in October.
It needs to happen before any announcement about Vodafone, which I think will come either just before Christmas or in the New Year.

Re: UPC Ireland and VM
I love that there's a "complex" tax arrangement, yet it's somehow not Vodafone's.
I suppose not ****ing paying tax is simple, by comparison.

Have to love how these stories run. Even if they're wrong.
