Hi dslamjack,

Thanks for getting in touch. We are aware of a series of unsolicited calls being received by members of the public where the call appears to come from eir. You can read more on this here http://support.eir.ie/article/phishingalert 
We also have issued a statement regarding these calls on our eir community page.
I can understand how frustration with these calls completely, I would also recommend logging this with nuisance calls bureau, you can contact them on 1800689689.
