HC Deb 21 October 1912 vol 42 c1753W
Mr. J. P. FARRELL

asked 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 SAMUEL

The 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.
