We proceeded to prosecute the offences identified on foot of the complaints received in the aforementioned cases. At Dublin Metropolitan District Court on 2 November 2015, Eircom Limited pleaded guilty to six charges of making unsolicited marketing calls without consent and it pleaded guilty to one charge of sending a marketing SMS without a valid address to which the recipient may send an opt-out request.
