can't dial certain Irish numbers

[#1]

I have a very odd problem dialling a couple of Irish numbers from the UK on plusnet. The call fails with an English recorded message that the call... "cannot be connected". 

My partner, who's also on plusnet, gets the same message. It's reproducible every time.

Except, another Irish number - which uses the same area code - does connect ok.

When I try from a BT line all the numbers ring ok. Then again a VOIP app also had no problems. And finally I tried a friend's vodafone mobile and they connected ok as well.

So I've raised the issue with plusnet, given them the telephone numbers, and now been told they'll only escalate the matter, if I collate an awful lot of technical information about the attempted calls.

It seems that the issue - a reproducible fault every time - could easily be checked by... erm, attempting the calls themselves.
