Ceisteanna (214)

Sean Fleming

Ceist:

214. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Defence the progress made within his Department on phasing out the use of LoCall 1890 numbers that can be extremely expensive when dialled from mobile phones and introducing 076 number, which 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 he will make a statement on the matter. [14481/13]

The Department introduced two 0760 numbers in June 2012, one for the Department and one for the Office of Emergency Planning. The usage of the lo-call numbers is being monitored with a view to moving fully to the 076 numbers at the appropriate time.
