asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs the reason automatic dialling between Cashel and Tipperary (062) Clonmel (052) lines is so unsatisfactory; and the action he proposes to improve this service.
There is some exchange congestion which affects direct dialling between Cashel-Tipperary and Cashel-Clonmel. Recently some relief was given by the provision of 12 extra trunk circuits in the area. This has improved the situation. Further improvement will be made within the next three to six months on the provision of extra trunks and the opening of the new digital exchanges at Waterford and Limerick.
