do they still make callcards here in ireland ?

You can still buy new Eircom Callcards in Ireland alright, but they've moved to a very generic design. Since about 2002 Eircom have only manufactured the "Simply Talk" line of cards which have a plain blue design with a cartoon figure in orange (I think) on them. They issue €4, €7 and €15 cards nowadays. The €15 card is red and white and has a picture of a telephone receiver on it. They're pretty boring designs, but they seem to still be in production. I doubt the cards are actually manufactured in Ireland though.
