Aphort public telephone kiosk
The Minister initially expected a kiosk at Aphort early in 1982, then assured the Deputy he would instruct the Department to provide it immediately. The exchange ends with brief interjections.
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will instruct his Department to construct a telephone kiosk immediately at Aphort, Arranmore Island, County Donegal.

The Minister used the phrase "it is expected". Would he assure me that this service will be provided by then? Is the Minister of State aware that on this side of the island there are no telephones with 24-hour service? This automatic service for Araglin would be a 24-hour service.

The Deputy has asked me if I have instructed my Department to construct a telephone kiosk immediately. I have given the Deputy an assurance that I will do that.
