asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs the annual cost of printing and circulating the Telephone Directory; the revenue earned in advertising charges and in sales; and when the next issue will be printed and circulated.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Telephone Directory.
174.
Preparation of the material for the printers and distribution of the directory copies cost £14,500 approximately. It would be contrary to practice to disclose the cost of printing or the revenue from advertisements, as these matters are arranged by contract.
Production of the next issue was seriously delayed by the printing strike but it is hoped to commence distribution early next year.
Question No. 175 postponed.
