§ MR. FLYNNI beg to ask the Postmaster General will he explain why there is no delivery of letters in Lucan, County Dublin, on Sundays; and why letters are not given by the local post office authority even if called for by the addressees, although the contrary practice prevails in other parts of Ireland?
§ SIR JAMES FERGUSSONThere is no delivery by postmen on Sunday morning at Lucan, because the late mail letters are nearly all delivered the night before. Such as cannot be delivered by postmen are delivered to callers between 8 and 10 a.m. on Sunday morning. The 154 question of giving a delivery on Sunday evening was considered some years ago, but the majority of the residents were not in favour of the change, and it was consequently not carried out.
