HC Deb 28 August 1893 vol 16 cc1200-1
MR. W. KENNY (Dublin, St. Stephen's Green)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General if he is aware that the post office in Upper Baggot Street, Dublin, is not a telegraph office; that Upper Baggot Street is the centre of a most populous and flourishing district in the suburbs of Dublin, and that there is no telegraph office nearer than that at Ball's Bridge, at the extremity of the district, and that at Lower Baggot, in the city: and whether, in view of the great inconvenience which the traders and other inhabitants of the locality suffer by reason of such want of telegraphic accommodation, he will consider the propriety of establishing a telegraph office in Upper Baggot Street?

THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.

The district to which the hon. Member refers appears to be fairly well served with telegraph facilities; and I do not think that the expense of establishing an additional office would be justified.
