    Meath County Council calls on the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, and COMREG to introduce legislation and measures to address the serious issue of spam calls and texts. Based on international approaches to this problem the Council highlights the following for consideration: (1) Comreg working with Operators to put measures in place to prevent RoboCalls - Measures such as Enhanced Caller ID, Network level validation and blocklist databases; (2) Measures to combat Robotexts such as filtering malicious phishing texts with links (URLs); (3) Appropriate legislation and registration of all phone numbers to deter the easy barrier of entry that currently exists and penalties for breaches; (4) Enhanced control for customers, for example, easier steps to block calls from geographical locations. These suggested measures are to help reverse the trend in bogus calls, extortion and criminal activity with enhanced caller identification and the ability for the customer to block all calls from certain countries if desired.
