asked the Postmaster-General whether he will take steps to expedite the necessary repairs to the telegraphic wires in the Killenaule district.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - KILLENAULE DISTRICT TELEGRAPHS.
The telegraphic circuits between Callan and other offices, including Killenaule, were very extensively damaged during the late troubles, but temporary repairs were effected and communication restored in June last. Temporary interruptions of service have since occurred due to the state of the lines, and the work of effecting permanent repairs will be undertaken as soon as possible. Until, however, the main lines serving important centres have been attended to it is not practicable to restore to a normal condition the single wire lines to outlying places.
I am informed that the circuit to Killenaule is at present working satisfactorily.
