asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs why his Department have taken so long to provide a telephone for a person in County Mayo (name supplied), particularly in view of the fact that applicants from the same place who applied only recently have been facilitated.
Service has not yet been provided for the applicant concerned because of heavy arrears of engineering work in the general area. It is hoped to attend to the application during the first half of next year.
