Response from ComReg regarding unsolicited calls.

Got a response from ComReg:

There is new legislation in relation to unsolicited calls so please click on the following consumer guide from our consumer website at www.askcomreg.ie for information on unsolicited calls: http://www.askcomreg.ie/_fileupload/publications/CG09RR.pdf. This should answer any queries you have. Information on the relevant legislation, SI 535 of 2003, is available on the Data Protection Commissioner’s website at www.dataprivacy.ie.

Additionally, if you request a particular company to remove your contact details from their marketing list, they are not supposed to contact you again. If they do and you wish to complain, you will need to contact the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner.

Still, if I am ex-directory, the only thing I can do is tell cold callers not to call again. Doesn’t make much sense to me - one would have thought being ex-directory is requesting an extra degree of privacy…
