Castletownbere factory telephone lines

Summary

The Minister said one telephone line had been provided to the factory and the other two would follow when it was ready to accept service; O’Keeffe said the delay had held up opening.

Jim O'Keeffe Mr. O'Keeffe Fine Gael

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether he is aware that a factory in Castletownbere, County Cork, (details supplied) is being hampered in commencing production because of a delay in the installation of telephones: and whether he will make immediate arrangements to have them installed.

Comment on this

Telephone service on one line has been provided for the company named. The other two lines required will be provided when the company are in a position to accept service.

When was the line in question provided?

Comment on this

They applied on 2 August but I do not have the date when the service was provided. They made application for a PABX system and it is a matter for the company and those responsible for installing such a system to decide on the system necessary. It is an internal problem.

The service was given since I tabled the question. I am sure the Minister is aware that the factory could not be opened until the line was provided.

The service has been provided.
