TD Frank Sherwin complained in the Dáil in 1962 that ‘From time to time most obscene and profane language is used on the telephone… Is there any way by which these people can be detected? From what I have seen in the cinema, it is possible to identify immediately the phone from which a call is made. I do not know whether that is peculiar to films. There ought to be an occasional prosecution to stop the use of obscenity on the telephone.’
