<...Another tidbit.  I was in Wales (UK) this summer and needed to call
Dublin, Ireland from a public pay phone.  I asked the operator how to place
the call and she said I should dial "trebble aught one" (0001).  What she
didn't tell me was that I should follow that with the local Dublin phone
number; I thought she was telling me how to dial a generic international
call, with 0001 to be followed by the Ireland country code.....>

The International access in the UK is 010, no matter where you're dialling from
or to, with the exception of Dublin, which has a special arrangement - the
'0001'. All other locations in Ireland are reached via an International call -
010 353, followed by area code and number.
