§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked what further progress has been made towards installing the trunk telephone system at Longford, for which the required guarantee has been signed by a number of people?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe provision of a telephone service at Longford is dependent upon the erection of new trunk lines between Dublin and Mullingar; and I do not anticipate that the further extension from Mullingar to Longford can be completed before March next.
