The reason the dialling codes from Ireland to the UK are not in the usual international form is easily explained. The north of Ireland is part of Ireland ( articles 2 and 3 of the Constitution) and hence it was not acceptable to dial Belfast with an international dialling code. As Belfast is part of British Telecom network all the Ireland to UK codes are affected. David Tocher EI2AMB Dept of Mathematics, University of Limerick, Ireland.
