asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs when additional telephone lines will be provided for a firm (details supplied) in Dublin.

Additional lines will be provided for this subscriber as soon as possible. It had been expected that the neccessary cabling would have been completed by now. However, because of the large volume of engineering work on hands and awaiting attention in the Dublin area it is unlikely that this work will be done until well into next year. The possibility of meeting his requirements in some other way is being examined.
