    That's a misunderstanding or a lie: your provider can track the number; to the originating provider at a bare minimum. They are probably just saying that, especially if it's not a formal/legal complaint.

    Take a note of the call time and date, duration, and what you remember of the call (quotes).
    Report it to Gardai if they call again.

    there's no way you can. there's no way your phone provider will give you the info. the gardai can request the info from the phone provider for legitimate reasons and with various conditions etc.

    report to the gardai if you are bothered by this / these call / calls or just forget about it.

    The info is there alright, but not accessible by customer care or anyone unless the gardai request the information from their data protection office.
