asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs the number of applications for telephone service under consideration in respect of Clonturk Avenue, Drumcondra, Dublin 9, when such applications are likely to be met in each case and if, in view of the number of elderly people living alone in this avenue, he will give priority to these applications.
