asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is aware that many telephone subscribers, with reasonably good eyesight, find it difficult to read the names and numbers in the new telephone directory because of the smallness and type of the print used; and, if so, if he will arrange to have clearer and larger type used in future issues.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether, in view of the growing increase in the size of the telephone directory due to more telephone subscribers, he will arrange for the issue of future editions in two sections, one for Dublin district and the other for the rest of the Twenty-Six Counties.

With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 36 and 37 together. No complaints have been received concerning the size of the print or lay-out of the Telephone Directory, but it is the intention to improve the directory asfar as possible and to separate Dublin subscribers' numbers from those in the rest of the country forming two sections in one volume.
