Need help from Old People

areu4real? · 2011-09-15 16:34:42

Hi Folks, I know this might not be the right section but this question needs a wide audience. Does anyone know when Dublin numbers went from 6 to 7 digits? A friend of mine is trying to track down an old company. Thanks in advance!

I'd say early 90's, maybe 94 as said above. I remember the extra six being added on to the front of our number.

It was an issue in the hoo-ha regarding Ivor Callely's expense claims.
It dated some expense receipts as not being from the period claimed.

It was 1990. I remember it being announced on Radio 2 when I used to listen to it all the time... I mean 2FM...
