HC Deb 24 March 1887 vol 312 c1349
MR. O'HANLON (Cavan, E.)

asked the Postmaster General, When he intends to establish the post office at Grangegeith; and, whether for nine months the people have paid for post office and letter carrier?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)

In reply to the Question of the hon. Member, I beg to say that I shall be pleased to establish a post office at Grangegeith, if the letters turn out to be sufficiently numerous. I expect to receive definite information on this point within a day or two. As previously stated by me, it is, I believe, the case that a private messenger is employed to bring the letters for Gangegeith from the Slane Post Office.

MR. O'HANLON

IS the right hon. Gentleman aware that the guarantee had been offered to cover any additional expenditure the post office may entail?

MR. RAIKES

I am not aware. I telegraphed to-day to the surveyor for full information on the subject.
