(Dublin South-Central): With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 10 and 11 together.
A first instalment of a major extension of the existing automatic exchange in Eglinton Street was brought into service earlier this year. Work on the balance is expected to be completed in about five months. A second automatic exchange for Galway, at Shantalla, was completed this month.
The Commissioners of Public Works forecast that the building to house the new exchange in Mervue will be ready in 1980 and it is expected that the exchange will be in service in 1982.
