Would the Minister agree that the delay in providing telephones for the Department of Social Welfare is the same delay which occurs in the rest of the Dublin area, particularly in Dublin South Central which I represent? Telephones have not been provided because the necessary equipment has been diverted to Galway by Deputy Killilea and to Longford by Deputy Reynolds. They did not give two damns, while in Government, about these people.

We are still not in the Department. Ask the people about that. The Minister's own backbenchers are asking him.
