Golden Pages has launched Ireland's first comprehensive online directory of business and residential telephone listings. Available at www.goldenpages.ie, the free service contains the entire contents of the Golden Pages for Ireland and allows users to search the database by classification (business type), address or name.

Less specific searches can also be conducted for generic products within regions, for example, restaurants on O'Connell St in Dublin. The Personal Finder contains the entire phone book directory listings for Ireland. A person's telephone number can be found by inputting a person's name, address, or combinations of both.

The new online service contains other specialist directories to search for fax numbers, e-mail addresses and websites. There are also links to other sites, including Yellow Pages throughout the world, as well as weekly competitions.
