asked the Minister for Transport and Power the number of new connections made by the ESB to private houses in each of the months for the period 1st January, 1973 to 28th February, 1975.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - ESB Consumer Connections.
58.
As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
The statement shows the nett additional domestic consumers connected monthly to the electricity supply in the period January, 1973 to January, 1975, that is, new accounts opened less old accounts closed. The board are not in a position to furnish figures for new connections only.
I am informed by the board that figures for February, 1975, are not yet available.
Following is the statement:
NUMBER of nett additional domestic consumers connected by the ESB to the electricity supply in each of the months 1st January, 1973, to 31st January, 1975.
