There is a shortage of equipment in the Swords exchange. Priority orders for exchange lines will continue to be met but I am sorry that other applications must be deferred pending the installation of extra exchange equipment. A 2,000 line extension is on order of which 1,000 are expected to be in service in autumn, 1974. Additional trunk lines to serve Swords exchange will be provided within the next two months.
