MR. MOOREasked the Postmaster General, Whether he is aware that the mails for Tipperary, Clonmel, and Water-ford, which leave Dublin at 9 a.m., and which include the English mails, are delayed at Limerick Junction for the space of half an hour; whether he will inquire if there is any sufficient reason for such delay; and, whether some such acceleration might not be adopted in favour of these towns, as was recently adopted in the case of Limerick?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHSir, the Post-master General has placed himself in communication with the railway company with the view of ascertaining whether the delay at Limerick Junction to which the hon. Member refers can be got rid of without inconvenience to the passenger traffic. The Post Office has, I am told, no power to alter the hours without the consent of the Company.
