HC Deb 17 December 1888 vol 332 c452
MR. CLANCY (Dublin Co., N.)

asked the Postmaster General, Whether he has yet arrived at any decision regarding the request of the people of Carlow for a new post office?

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

About a fortnight ago I informed the hon. Member that it had been decided to provide a new post office at Carlow, and that premises had been obtained in Dublin Street for this purpose. The legal formalities for obtaining a lease are now in progress.

MR. CLANCY

Is a new Post Office to be built?

MR. RAIKES

No; a very good house has been secured which can be easily adapted to post office purposes; and if the hon. Member likes I will show him a photograph of it.
