Waterford subscriber's disconnection
The Department said the subscriber's bill and reminder had been issued before service was disconnected for non-payment. The subscriber had since paid and service was restored; the Minister said the matter had been investigated.
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs the reason the telephone service to a person (details supplied) in County Waterford was disconnected for non-payment of a telephone account when, apparently, this account was never submitted.

The October-December 1979 telephone account for this subscriber was issued on 11 February 1980 and a reminder notice requesting payment within seven days was sent to him on 6 March 1980. As the account was not paid service was withdrawn on 23 April.

The subscriber in question maintains that he did not get a bill. I should like the Minister to get an inspector from his department to call and discuss the matter further.

It is quite odd that this subscriber has stated that he did not get the account on two occasions. It is quite odd that he was the only person in that area who did not get it. On receipt of payment of that account service was restored to him on 29 April, the day after payment was made at Kilmacthomas post office.
