Verizon agrees to buy Ireland-based Fleetmatics in $2.4B deal

Exactly half what they paid for buying Yahoo this week.

We don't have many tech "unicorns" (I don't like the term) in Ireland.

I guess Fleetmatics are obviously one of them. Intercom are fast becoming one if they aren't already and Movidius. Baltimore Technologies and Trintech are the two legacy unicorns I can think of. People often suggest Ryanair and Paddy Power or even Stripe but for different reasons I don't think of them as "Irish tech".
