Angry villagers still without phone service after week

ANGRY villagers have criticised Eircom for failing to fix a fault which has left them without the proper use of their phones for more than a week.

More than 200 customers living in Cullen, north Cork, have been without a proper landline service since last Tuesday week and local businesses are claiming the fault is costing them dearly.

An Eircom spokesman said engineers were working flat out to find the source of the problem but because the fault surfaced intermittently it was hard to locate.
