asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether he is aware that the terms of the contract, referred to by him in reply to a question on the 28th February last, governing the provision of telephone exchange lines to the Glen, Ballinskelligs and to Kate Kearney's Cottage, have now been fulfilled; and, if so, if he will state when this essential service will be restored.

A payment has recently been received from the subscriber renting the lines in question. The subscriber has, however, asked that a new form of agreement in respect of the lines be negotiated. This request is receiving urgent consideration but I regret that it is not possible to indicate the probable date of restoration of service.
