§ MR. FINUCANE (Limerick, E.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he is aware, that in the town of Galbally, County Limerick, there is no telegraphic communication with the English markets; that there are two creameries in the neighbourhood and one 21 in the town of Galbally, as well as a large woollen factory; that the nearest telegraph offices are Tipperary, Mitchelstown, and Knocklong, the two former being 9 miles and the last 7 miles from Galbally; whether a petition has reached him, signed by the gentry, clergy, farmers, and traders of the district, and stating that for the successful working of those creameries, &c, telegraphic communication with the English markets is essential; and will such communication be established?
§ MR. A. MORLEYThe Petition mentioned did reach me last Wednesday and, as I informed the hon. Member by letter on the same day, I am having inquiry made; but some time must elapse before a decision can be arrived at.
