asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether he has considered the question of providing television services; and, if so, if he will indicate whether it will be possible to provide such programmes in the country.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Television Services.
My Department has been keeping in touch with television developments elsewhere. Because of various factors involved, a television service cannot at present be provided in this country, and I am unable to give even the broadest estimate as to when it will be possible to provide one. It will certainly be a very considerable time.
