MR. O'BRIENasked the Postmaster General, Why the Sunday Post established last year between Ballandine and Irishtown (county Mayo), on a numerously subscribed Memorial from the inhabitants of the district, has been discontinued; and, whether, having regard to the fact that the district served by the Sunday delivery contains three thousand persons, and that, under the present arrangement, letters arriving at Ballandine at twelve o'clock on Saturdays are not distributed until nine o'clock on Monday mornings, to the great inconvenience of trade in the district, arrangements will be made to reestablish the Sunday delivery at Irish-town?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREThe hon. Member appears to be under a misapprehension in stating that a Sunday post was established to Irishtown last year, and has since been discontinued. There never has been a post on Sundays; but the late Mr. Fawcett pro- 1838 mised that the accommodation should be afforded if applied for in accordance with the rule by persons receiving two-thirds of the letters for the district. No such application has yet been received; but when it is I shall be glad to give it my best consideration.
