asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether in view of the desire of both Kerry County Council and the Department of Lands that there should be a public telephone installed at the Maharees, Castlegregory, County Kerry he will take steps to have such a telephone installed without the necessity for the Council to indemnify his Department against losses incurred in its operation.
