Although Kilross was among more than 800 kiosks awaiting provision, the Minister promised to direct that one be installed as soon as possible after hearing the village lacked nearby public telephone access.
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs when a telephone kiosk will be provided in the village of Kilross, County Tipperary.

It is planned to provide a telephone kiosk to serve the village of Kilross.
There are however over 800 kiosks included in the current programme for provision of kiosks throughout the country and it may be some considerable time before the kiosk at Kilross can be provided.

Does the Minister realise that this is one of the few villages in Ireland that is absolutely deprived of an amenity such as a public telephone kiosk and that the residents there have no means of summoning emergency services if they need them? Could the Minister see his way to getting his Department to expedite the installation of this kiosk?

This file was brought to my personal attention only this morning. I am surprised that if there is no public telephone within two-and-a-half miles in a catchment area with 94 householders, that one was not provided before this administration took over. I assure the Deputy that as soon as I go back to my office I will give a direction that a telephone kiosk be provided there as soon as possible.
