Belfast is on the island of Ireland. This is an important distinction 
since national calls in the Republic of Ireland are to all 32 counties 
(that includes Northern Ireland). This means that a Dublin - Belfast 
call is a national rate call whereas a Dublin - London call is an 
international rate call.

This could be useful information to anyone wanting to terminate calls 
for the Republic of Ireland. It's what we're doing :-)
