§ MR. CHANCE (Kilkenny, S.)asked the Postmaster General, What is the cause of the delay since May, 1887, in opening a suitable post office for the City of Kilkenny; and, whether complaints have reached him that the present temporary post office is in a most inconvenient place on the outskirts of the city?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)The delay in altering the premises required in August—not in May—last year for a post office at Kilkenny has been due mainly to pressure of business at the Office of Public Works. The work is now in hand, and is expected to be completed by about the end of the year. No complaints have been received during the past year of the inconvenient situation of the temporary office, which, I am informed, is reasonably central.
