Vol. 331 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Expresspost Service.

5.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs why Waterford was not included in the new Expresspost service; and when it is expected that such a service will be provided.

The new Expresspost service is being introduced on an experimental basis in and between Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway where existing inter-city transport facilities are particularly suitable for the service. Consideration will be given to extending the service to Waterford and other large centres in the light of the experience gained when the service is introduced.

Has the service been a success?

The service is experimental at the moment. All areas will be considered, including Waterford, as soon as we have the experience.

How soon?

As soon as it is physically possible to introduce it.

Has the Minister got a time schedule?

Unfortunately, I have not. I will try to get the information for the Deputy.
