§ DR. KENNY (Cork, S.)asked the Postmaster General, Whether the Mail Car has been discontinued between Skibbereen and Baltimore; if the rural messenger has to travel 19 miles per day and carry parcels; whether more than 100 men are employed at public works and schools at Baltimore; if letters are delivered on Sundays; and, whether, considering the importance of Baltimore as a fishing station, he will have steps taken to obviate the public inconvenience by securing the services of the Mail Car to the inhabitants of Baltimore?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (SIR HENRY HOLLAND) (Hampstead)(who replied) said: The mail car between Skibbereen and Baltimore was put on as a temporary measure during the fishing season, and has now been discontinued. The Question only appeared on the Paper this morn- 1102 ing, and it is, therefore, impossible to answer it in detail. But I may state that the Postmaster General will consider whether the mail car can be maintained throughout the year.
