asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs how many applications there are on hand for telephones in County Wexford; and when such applications will be dealt with.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 42 and 43 together.
The number of new installations in the area in the past 12 months was 205. There are 275 applications outstanding of which 35 will be cleared within the next few months.
The possibility of a further clearance later this year will be examined shortly in the light of progress with the trunk development programme.
