HC Deb 05 August 1913 vol 56 c1284W
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked the Postmaster-General when Cavan will be connected with the trunk telephone; when it is proposed to establish the exchange; and will he say whether the local telephone system in county Cavan cart be fully used in connection with trunk line messages direct?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

The work of constructing the trunk line to Cavan is nearing completion, and I hope that it will be possible to bring the line into use and to open the exchange by the end of September. The existing local telephone system of call offices will be placed in connection with the trunk system, but it may only be possible to afford conversation from them within a limited area of about 100 miles.
