Longford County Council offered to guarantee a kiosk at Newtowncashel against loss. A site has been selected in consultation with the council and a draft agreement covering the guarantee has been sent to them for approval. The kiosk will be erected within about a month of completion of the agreement.

I am very glad to hear from the Minister that this kiosk will be erected within a month and I would like to put on record that I have only been seven years making representations to many Ministers about this kiosk. Let me say also that prior to the summer recess——

I am sorry, but I do not take up much time at Question Time. I brought ten circulars here signed by ten very responsible people.

I never heard from the Minister since. The next thing I saw was a letter from the Minister for Justice stating that there was a telephone kiosk coming to Newtowncashel. Maybe the Minister forgot me, I do not know.
