asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is aware of the great hardship occasioned at Araglen, County Tipperary, through lack of public telephone facilities; and, if so, whether he will consider establishing a telephone in the sub-post office in the County Cork portion of this village.

A public telephone call office will be installed at Araglen Post Office as part of the Department's scheme to provide a public telephone at every post office which has not this facility. Owing, however, to heavy arrears of other construction work— particularly the clearance of waiting applications for telephone service—it has become necessary to suspend work on the call office programme for the present, and it will, therefore, be some time before a public telephone can be provided at Araglen Post Office.
