asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs the reason telephone service has not yet been provided for applicants in the Blarney area of County Cork as moneys have been paid by them to his Department; when service will be provided; and when the new building in Blarney will be brought into service.
I am sorry for the delay in providing a telephone service for some applicants in Blarney area who have made advance payments. Provision of service has been held up awaiting the commissioning of a mobile telephone exchange. The mobile exchange is now in service and telephones will be provided for the people concerned within the next few weeks.
It is expected that a new digital telephone exchange at Blarney will be brought into service during the second half of next year.
