asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether he is aware that over forty business men in and around Crossakiel, Co. Meath, have signed a petition to have the telephone system extended to Crossakiel, and whether he is prepared to grant these facilities to residents in that district.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - CROSSAKIEL AND TELEPHONE SERVICE.
A copy of a memorial asking for the establishment of a telegraph office or a telephone call office at Crossakiel was recently received. As it was found that the working expenses would far exceed the estimated revenue either from a telegraph office or a call office the memorialists were informed that compliance with their request was not warranted. I regret that in the circumstances I am unable to alter this decision.
