Madam, - While I have every sympathy for the plight of Dr Síle Nic Chormaic (January 9th) and am reluctant to add to her disillusionment with "Ireland's Tiger economy", I must warn her that my wife and I placed our order for a new telephone line in April 2006. We're still waiting. We are now on about our seventh estimated "date of completion". - Yours, etc,
ALAN HYNES, Rathmore, Corofin, Co Galway.
