Communications Regulation and Network Resilience: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. George Merrigan:
Yes, that is correct. One of the interventions we have introduced is the voice firewall, which is a dynamic intervention that is being rolled out currently. It will not be entirely live until March of next year on all the networks. In terms of those two things, using Irish numbers abroad to basically fool Irish people in the country is not possible. If someone gets a scam call with an Irish number now, that is originating in the State.
