Questions (234)

Sean Fleming

Question:

234. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the progress made within her Department on phasing out the use of locall 1890 numbers that can be extremely expensive when dialled from mobile phones and introducing 076 numbers, which are generally included in tariff bundles provided by most mobile network operators and are charged at the same rate as national calls, in view of the fact that the number of mobile phones exceed the number of landlines; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14479/13]

Written answers

My Department does not have any LoCall numbers in operation at present but has previously used such numbers for specific projects and consultations.

If any future projects or consultations are being undertaken, the option of using 076 numbers will be considered.
