‹ Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Telephone Call Confidentiality. Crossed telephone lines and call privacy
Summary
Bruton reports more crossed lines allowing people to hear others’ calls and asks whether this can be prevented. Fitzpatrick says the issue is continually monitored; Bruton adds that calls can be picked up on phones in the House.
Is the Minister aware that there has been a marked increase in the incidence of crossed lines whereby members of the public can listen to calls being made confidentially by other members of the public? Is there any way of avoiding this situation?
