HC Deb 16 June 1890 vol 345 cc1009-10
MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Fermanagh, N.)

I beg to ask the Post- master General whether he has considered the Petition presented to him by the inhabitants of Manoo, in the County of Fermanagh, praying for the establishment of a Post Office in their district?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES,) Cambridge University

I have considered the Petition referred to by the hon. Member, and I should have been glad to comply with it, but I find that the cost involved in the establishment of a Post Office at Manoo would be out of all proportion to the revenue from the six letters a day to be benefited. Under the circumstances, I regret that a Post Office cannot be opened at Manoo. There are three Post Offices Kish, Edeney, and Lisnaritck, within three miles from Manoo.
