asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs when he expects to have a circuit available to link the Drumree area of County Meath to the telex exchange so that a telex may be installed in any business in the area which wishes to have one.
Each telex installation requires a separate circuit to connect it to the appropriate telex exchange which for subscribers in the Drumree area is the Dublin telex exchange. There is only one applicant for telex in the Drumree area and it is expected that service will be offered to this applicant within the next four months or so.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is aware of complaints from people in the "259" exchange area of County Meath in regard to difficulty in obtaining a reply from "10"; and if this is a problem general to all people in the "01" area or if there are special problems in the "259" part of the "01" area.
There are no special problems with the "10" service in the "259" exchange area nor is there a high level of complaint from subscribers in the area at present. In general, calls to the Dublin "10" service are answered quickly but delay in answering some calls can arise during peak day traffic periods. In addition, the standard of service at night was below standard earlier in the year but action has been taken to deal with this.
