Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Letterkenny Telephone Kiosks.
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether he will reconsider his decision in regard to the provision of additional public telephone kiosks in Letterkenny.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 30 and 31 together.
It is proposed to provide a second kiosk in Letterkenny, but because of the large number of places with prior claims it will be some considerable time before the kiosk is erected.
Do I understand that the decision has been taken to erect another kiosk in Letterkenny, and arising from that, may I ask the Minister if he could indicate at what point this kiosk is to be erected? Is there any indication of what point in the town at which it will be erected?
I understand there are already some kiosks in the town and we are anxious to provide another, but it will probably be six months before the work can be carried out. When the time comes a suitable site will be selected for it in the town.
I take it that the Minister will give full consideration to the present position of kiosks in the town and when he has considered that I would ask the Minister to realise that one further kiosk in Letterkenny will not be at all sufficient. Both of the present kiosks are situated in the centre of the town and it follows that if there is to be any improvement it must be effected at both ends. One further kiosk is not sufficient and I would ask the Minister to bear that in mind in deciding the matter.
