history
Eire has a long-standing origin: the partners have been working as strategic and financial advisors since 1995.
Renamed in 2010, the name Eire carries great purpose as it means Ireland in the Celtic language. The motif to using this name was to represent our motto: “Forte et Fideli, nihil difficile”, which freely translated means “For the strong and loyal, nothing is difficult”.
