I am aware that there has been some delay in answering telephone calls at Clifden exchange, mainly due to staff absences. Arrangements have been made to assign some extra telephonists to Clifden telephone exchange and more will be assigned, as the traffic warrants it. In addition, a new radio-link between Clifden and Galway is due in service within the next few weeks which will give an improved service to subscribers in the Clifden area.
