No they haven't

I honestly don't know which country you've been researching, but it definitely wasn't Ireland.

Yes

SMS spam is easy enough to take action on, though in most cases the companies seem to get away with a slap

Thats SMS yes but it was the Data protection Commisioners Office in conjunction with Regtel. The Case is still on going so we'll have to wait to see what slaps are to be handed out.

The DPC is the only person worth talking to in relation to reporting spam and legal action been tacken .

Default another irish spammer
I received an email a few weeks ago from Computer-Repair.ie
They were offering several general it services including, wait for it, "anti-spam"
The mail clained it was a once off. It did not say where it got my address and offered no opt out. I phoned them and was told it was a mistake by an outside marketing company. I left it at that as the guy on the other end of the phone sounded appolagetic and may have been telling the truth. Low and behold I received another mail today from the same people. I phoned and was told more or less the same story.
After a mild rant i meekly said my goodbyes. What can I do? I really want to follow this one up and dont mind putting time or even a little expense in to it.
Is there an official way to have these guys penalised?
Thanks
D.

If you have told them to remove you from their list but they keep mailing you, then you can report them to the data privacy commissioner.

If you report spam via spamcop it will automatically trigger reports to the ISPs that they use for email etc., which is a lot more effective than reporting them to ComReg

Of course this won't work too well with some ISPs' clients, as the ISPs themselves don't have functioning abuse contacts! (You'll see their reports being sent to internal spamcop handling)

You can also report them to URIBL
