§ COLONEL NOLANasked the Postmaster General, If he would consider the advisability of forwarding the night 112 mails to Tuam by rail, and thus facilitating postal communication in the large district which receives its letters through Tuam?
§ MR. FAWCETTThe night mails arrive at the present time at Tuam in time to be delivered the first thing in the morning, and they are not despatched till 9.20 at night. I do not think it would be possible to have more convenient hours. There is no passenger train running on the line which would bring the night mails at a suitable time to Tuam; and I have no doubt if the Company were asked to run a train specially for mail purposes they would expect a considerable payment, and no postal advantage would result.
