§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork, W.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has received tenders for a mail car service between Lehanmore and Castle-town bere; whether the sum required for such service is 23s. weekly; whether the present mail service amounts to that sum; and whether he purposes availing himself of the tender for a mail car service, and thereby convenience the public?
§ *THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES,) University of CambridgeIn reply to the hon. Member, I beg to state that I have received a conditional offer to provide for a Mail Car Service between Lehanmore and Castletownbere Haven at the rate of 24s. a week, but I do not propose to avail myself of this offer. There is no official post at present between the places named, but a scheme is under consideration which may possibly admit of a post being afforded by messenger on foot.
