asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will provide a night telephone service for a person (details supplied) in Castlerea, County Roscommon.

There are 21 applicants for night service at the exchange concerned, 14 of whom are ahead of the person in respect of whom the question is being asked. Night service cannot be provided at present as the capacity of the trunk circuits is exhausted and it will be some time before additional circuits are provided. The question of introducing continuous service at the exchange in question is being pursued. If this proves possible, it will obviate the need for special arrangements for night service.
