asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether there are any applicants waiting for telephones in the Kilcock exchange area of County Kildare for over two years; and, if so, why.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Kildare Telephone Applicants.
Two applicants in the Kilcock exchange area are waiting for telephones for over two years. The delay in providing service for these and other waiting applicants is due mainly to shortage of skilled staff to deal with accumulated arrears of construction work throughout the country.
Both of the Kilcock applicants referred to have accepted recent offers of service and they will be provided with telephones within the next few months.
