To answer your question: Yes; probably. Living a sheltered life or using appropriate local numbers?

A person who hasn't used 999. Assuming at least 50.0000001% percent of people have, therefore he would be a minority, or vice versa if 50.0000001% of people have used 999, therefore making him a communist majority

Reading this thread I'm just confused!

I think I now need to dial one of those numbers! :rolleyes:

Most people have tried to get a lift home off them at least.

Here's the official answer

http://www.askcomreg.ie/home_phone/phone_numbers.37.LE.asp#L443

The emergency call numbers in Ireland are 999 and 112. The single European Union emergency call number is 112 and this number is in use in Member States of the EU. In Ireland, both numbers 999 and 112 exist in parallel and either of these numbers will all connect you to an operator where you can request assistance from the emergency services.

Jesus?
If I remember rightly a few years ago they have 911 as an emergency number here aswell as so many people were ringing it in a panic situation! Too much American tv!

Are you sure the emergency number is not 666?

This number appears as a prefix to all Dublin Garda metropolitan and confidential numbers. :eek:

It was definately 911. At about 2am I looked out my window for some reason and saw a van outside my house in flames. It was a flatbed worker's truck and everything in the back of it was on fire, it was huge. So I grabs my phone, ring the emergency number say that I need a fire truck asap, hang up the phone , fire truck shows up, puts out the fire, I go back to bed . Then a half hour later I look at my phone and realised that I dialed 911!!

It's so us Yanks don't kill ourselves when we need the emergency services. It's not exactly like in the states. Here you can't order pizza on it for some reason? If that's not an emergency, then I don't know what is!

Rang 999 once after witnessing a really bad car crash. Yer wan was so annoying though. talk about 20 questions!
...and whats your name?
...can you spell that please?

...finally your mobile phone number?
feck sake, what does she want my life story! must be some amount of prank calls for them to want that info.

i rang 999 once by mistake, phone was in my pocket and just dialled it, and then managed to hang up again. they rang me back -"hello, this is the emergency services, are you all right?". I was thinking "awh, thats sweet, the emergency services are checking up on me" when they said "you tried to ring us a few mins ago, are you all right?". when i realised what had happened i explained and apologised. they werent impressed, probably thought i was a prank caller.

I rang 999 when I was in town, some bloke was about to get the sh!t kicked out of him by a bouncer. He didn't ask for my name or number just what did I need and where, I wasn't sure of the name of the street but once I said the part of the pub name he new where it was straight away. Guards showed up in a matter of about 2mins. Probably a bit overzealous on my part, 2 cars and a total of 7 Guards showed up and by then the fella had moved on after the bouncer had him in a head lock.

Surely a prank caller wouldn't answer their phone ?

Yea, but as soon as your road tax, NCT, DOE expires or if you are caught on a bus lane the cams will pick your registration and you receive an automated four page fixed penalty notification. :eek:

According to the press there will eventually be 100 ANPR cameras :eek:

It will be like having another 100 Westlink toll gantries :eek:

the Green party will not be too happy with all this potential waste of paper. Im surprised they are not on to this case already

No it was a Bog Fire... Theyre actually quite dangerous in dry weather.

And in reply to the other lad yes they put it out but took their sweet time doing it... In reality they could have put it out much faster than they did but of course the longer they stay there the more they get paid.
