asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that in consequence of a recent order for curtailment of telephone service in the town of Cavan there is now no night service and only one hour on Sunday, and if he will undertake to have the service restored.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CAVAN TELEPHONE SERVICE.
SEAN MAC GIOLLA 'N RIOGH
Owing to the expense incurred in providing a continuous service at the Cavan Telephone Exchange, and to the fact that practically no calls were made after 10 p.m. on week-days, and very few calls on Sundays, it was recently decided to restrict the service to the hours of:—
8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on week-days.
9 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
Some objections have been received to the curtailment of the facilities, and the question is being further considered. When a decision has been reached in the matter, the result will be communicated to the Deputy.
