§ MR. W. KENNY (Dublin, St. Stephen's Green)I beg to ask the Postmaster General if he is aware that letters arriving in Dublin by the day mail steamer from Holyhead are not delivered in the Pembroke township of Dublin until about 9 o'clock p.m., after the city deliveries; whether these letters are sorted on board the steamer, and are ready to be handed to the letter carriers on their arrival in the city about 5.30 p.m.; and if he will take steps to expedite the delivery in this township, the more especially as English letters by the same steamer are delivered in the 633 neighbouring township of Kingstown about 6 o'clock p.m.?
§ MR. A. MORLEYThe day mail letters from England for the Pembroke township of Dublin are not delivered at present until the last delivery, which commences between 7.0 p.m. and 8.0 p.m., and which includes the letters from the Irish Provinces reaching Dublin by up day mail. The question of making an earlier and special delivery of these English letters has been repeatedly considered, but the cost involved has hitherto been found more than could be justified.
