asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs when a telephone service will be provided for a person (details supplied) in Newtownmount-kennedy, County Wicklow.

Within about six months.

460.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if, in view of the ever increasing size of the part 1 section of the telephone directory, it is his intention to split it into two parts as it is likely to become somewhat unwieldy due to the increase in the number of telephone entries.

There are no plans to split the directory at present. The matter is however being kept under review.
