...The offence can result in court convictions and fines of up to €5,000 per offence.
Defence counsel Joe Jeffers asked that the company, which has agreed to pay prosecution costs, be given a chance to donate €10,000 to charity and spare it a conviction. However, Judge O'Neill refused and imposed fines totalling €25,000 which have to be paid within four months....

That is good news for consumers. They have been way too lenient on these companies before now.

About time they started enforcing convictions.

Too often now the Eir group have treated customers with contempt and brought to court only to get away with it by making a small charitable donation. Might make them sit up and take notice now knowing they're not going to get away with it as easily anymore.

It is a sad reflection that the only thing that seems to motivate so many companies is the fear of public embarrassment:(

As said above the eir/com group are a terrible company and are shocking in how they treat paying customers.

More fines needed.
