§ MR. O'SHEAasked the Postmaster General, Whether complaints have reached him as to the disadvantages incurred by certain portions of West Clare, owing to the non-establishment of the usual summer second post between Limerick and Kilrush; and, if so, whether any steps can be taken to remedy the public inconvenience caused by the disputes between the Railway and Steamboat Companies, which have hitherto performed the joint service?
§ MR. FAWCETTIt is a fact, as stated by my hon. Friend, that the second post between Limerick and Kilrush has not commenced for the summer because of a disagreement, as I am informed, between the Railway and Steamboat Companies. I am sorry it is not in my power to do anything to bring about an amicable settlement of the matter in dispute; but I need not say that as soon as the Companies arrive at 1220 an understanding, the Post Office will lose no time in re-establishing the second post.
