    You could get the Gardai to tap your phone and they can find out the source of the calls, although it could be extremely bored Gardai making the phone calls. :D

    The gardai can only do anything if they keep very precise tracks of when these calls are being made and how long they last. At least that's what we were told when we had the same problem. If it's a mobile they can write a written letter to their service provider with the details and they can block the number if possible, I think.

    Do they have an elderly neighbour who has their number on a panic beeper perhaps? Thats what happened in my house. Old chap was rolling around in his sleep wearing it and setting it off, sending a phone call to my parents house.

    Are people making nuisance calls ever taken to court when caught?

    I went into the Eircom shop on O'Connell Street years ago and bought a little white thing for €30, connected it to my phone, and the number of the caller was displayed. So, next time the kids who were ringing rang I rang them back, asked for their parents, and told them what was going on and if it happened again I'd have to go to the Garda. It never happened again.

    Get the phone service provider to track the no that the nuisense call is coming from.
    Then, give that no to the guards.....a call from the guards usually stops them quickly from doing it again.
