§ MR. CLANCY(for Mr. CAREW) (Kildare, N.)asked the Postmaster General, Whether he has yet come to any decision relative to a site for a new post office in the town of Carlow, the existing post office in which place has been described by the Town Commissioners, and by the Post Office Inspector, as totally unsuited to the requirements of the locality?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES) (Cambridge University)Advertisement has recently been made for the site of the premises to be purchased or retained by the Department for a post office at Carlow, and when all the offers have been received, no time will be lost in arriving at a decision.
§ MR. CLANCYI must ask the right hon. Gentleman how it happens that matters relating to post offices in Ireland are always delayed an unnecessarily long time?
§ MR. RAIKESDelay has occurred owing to the difficulty of obtaining premises. I hope, now that the premises have been got, no further delay will occur.
