Eircom phone book

Oh dear I see that as of beginning of this month, the residential listings in the online phone book are no longer available, business only. I know many are dropping landlines but still was useful look up resource. When was the paper version discontinued. Pearse St Library had a good stock of back numbers... must check what is going on there.

It's only a few years ago that they stopped issuing them. Libraries will definitely have good stocks. Longterm they are printed on flimsy paper though - they won't have good durability or be easy to scan.

I think by the mid '00s the phone book was already a husk of what it used to be. It used to be two volumnes, one residential and golden pages separate. Even when they both got slim enough to be merged into one, it still got progressively slimmer as the years went on.

I'm surprised it is even still a think, even online.

I haven't had cause to use it or heard of anyone using it in years.

I have found it useful to track down info from 1950's onward ...past date for Dublin Voters register database and Mormon records.
