§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNOR(for Mr. MAC NEILL) (Donegal,865 S.) asked the Postmaster General, If he would have any objection to state the terms of the contract, and the amount paid, for the conveyance of the mails by car between Bundoran and Bundoran Junction (or Ballinamallard); and, whether the Post Office Authorities consider the present arrangements adequate or satisfactory?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)The mail car in question works in connection with the night mail between Omagh and Enniskillen. It conveys the correspondence for 10 sub-post offices, and the districts dependent thereon. It runs at the rate of seven miles an hour, and the present payment is £320 a-year. The contractor has, however, given notice terminating the contract, and the new tenders are at the present time under consideration. The present arrangements are the best of which the circumstances admit.
