asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs the reason for the delay in installing a telex for a firm (details supplied) in County Donegal which was applied for some time ago; and if he will have this telex installed immediately.

Telex service was provided for the firm concerned on 26 September 1981. Service could not be provided earlier because the special telex trunk system needed for the connection to the telex exchange was not available until recently.
