§ MR.MORROGH (Cork Co., S.E.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General if his attention has been called to the inconvenience and delay caused in the delivery of the mails to the inhabitants of the South-Eastern Postal Districts served by runners from Kinsale and Carrigaline; and if he could not substitute one post-car for the present system of three runners?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES, Cambridge University)It is not quite clear to what district the hon. Member refers; but if it is the district of Ballyfeard to which the question applies I have to state that the post to that district is now maintained at fairly convenient hours from Kinsale. The question of substituting for this service a mail car from Carrigaline viâ Minane Bridge has been carefully considered, but the additional expense involved precludes me from sanctioning such an arrangement. I shall be glad to have further inquiry made in the matter, if the hon. Member will give fuller particulars.
