§ DR. TANNER (Cork Co., Mid)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether his attention has been directed to the insufficient postal arrangements in the Inchigeela district, County Cork, which provide only carriage of letters to and from Inchigeela three times a week, viâ Ballingeary; and whether a daily mail car between Macroom and Inchigeela, or a daily post by messenger from Inchigeela to Ballingeary, might be established?
§ MR. RAIKESThe post to and from Inchigeela is maintained six days a week by messenger on foot, but between Inchigeela and Ballingeary the post is restricted to three days a week, because the letters are few in number. It would give me pleasure to meet the wishes which have been expressed in the matter; but, so far as I am at present able to form an opinion, I fear that the additional expense involved in improving the service will be greater than I should feel justified in incurring. The inquiries shall, however, be pursued, and I will come to a decision as soon as possible.
§ DR. TANNERIf representations are made by the inhabitants will the right hon. Gentleman have the subject further investigated?
§ MR. RAIKESI shall be happy to give due consideration to any Memorial sent me.
