asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs the number of applicants for telephone service in County Louth in each of the postal districts at 30 September 1981; and the number of telephones installed there in each of the past three years.

Records are not maintained in a form that would enable this information to be obtained readily and its compilation would involve a disproportionate amount of staff time. A check shows, however, that there were about 1,900 waiting applications at exchanges in County Louth on 30 September 1981.

The answer to (a), (b) (i), (b) (ii) and (b) (iii) is none and to (b) (iv) is one (at Kilsaran). In addition, a kiosk erected in 1980 at Collon under the guarantee scheme was brought into service in 1981.

522.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs when further telephone service at Seaview Park, Newtownmountkennedy, County Wicklow, will be provided and the situation in regard to the proposed telephone exchange at this centre.
