M&A Éire is an online newsletter dedicated to mergers & acquisitions and capital markets, proudly standing as the first M&A newsletter as Gaeilge worldwide.
We provide in-depth analysis of the latest deals and IPOs in Ireland and internationally, while also revisiting some of the most intriguing past transactions. Our mission is to showcase Ireland's expanding M&A landscape, offer insights into global dealmaking, and break down M&A jargon – while sharing our opinions on the deals that shape the market.
M&A Éire began as a way for us to build our own understanding of deals happening in Ireland and around the world. Along the way, we realised that M&A can often seem inaccessible or overly complex for students interested in finance. Our mission is to change that by creating clear, engaging content that helps students in Ireland learn more about M&A, understand how deals are done, and stay up to date with the transactions shaping the market.
