asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will state when it is proposed to install a public telephone at Donore sub-post office, County Meath.
I propose, with your permission, to answer the questions numbered 17, 18 and 19 together.
Public telephones will be installed at Cromane, County Kerry Donore, County Meath, and Duagh, County Kerry, as part of the scheme to provide such facilities at all post offices. Work on the scheme, however, has had to be suspended temporarily in favour of more urgent work, particularly the provision of telephones for waiting applicants, and, accordingly, it is not possible to say, at present, when the installations will be carried out at the offices named.
