I won the PEN America Prison Writing Contest in 2022 and never received the $250 prize, even after much back and forth via email, which continues to this day. I know of at least one other first place winner who never received their prize money, either.

A litany of eir complaints being aired on @Liveline now. It seems that their new CEO #OliverLoomes was massaging the facts when interviewed on RTÉ Radio 1 on Sat, who gave the impression that all was transformed....

Eir CEO Oliver Loomes taking about complaints on RTE’s ‘The Business’ radio show two days ago:

“We used to get 600 complaints per month and we now only have 27 per month…

Only 0.001pc of our customers have a complaint and go to Comreg.”

'Under no circumstances are the complaints number or complaints webpage address to be provided to any customer. An agent found to be doing this will be subject to a disciplinary under call avoidance.'

A court has heard telecoms company Eir employed a deliberate policy aimed at preventing customers from logging complaints | rte.ie/b/1443631
