HC Deb 22 March 1886 vol 303 c1478
MR. JOHNSTON (Belfast, S.)

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If he will make the Post Office, College Green, Dublin, available for the receipt of parcels, and so remove an existing inconvenience from one of the business centres of the Irish Metropolis?

THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HENRY H. FOWLER) (Wolverhampton, E.)

Parcel Post business is not transacted at the College Green Post Office for want of space; but there are receiving offices in Grafton Street and Dame Street, the first about 370 yards, the second about 330 yards, distant from College Green—at which parcels may be posted, and which were established mainly for that purpose. The Dame Street Receiving Office is at the present moment vacant through the resignation of the receiver, but no time will be lost in filling up the vacancy.
