HC Deb 11 January 1894 vol 20 c1322
MR. FOLEY (Galway, Counemera)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General if any, and what, action has been taken on the part of the Post Office to carry out the recommendations of the Congested Districts Board for Ireland, to extend telegraphic communication with the important fishery station connected with the Island of Inishboffin, County Galway; whether that Board has intimated that a fish curing station has been established on the island with success; and whether the development of the fishing' industry will not be placed in a position detrimental to its success, unless a liberal extension of telegraphic communication is carried out in the manner in which it has been extended to the Islands of Scotland?

MR. A. MORLEY

A representation has been made to me by the Congested Districts Board for Ireland on the subject of the establishment of a telegraph office in the Island of Inishboffin, and I am having inquiry made into the matter. As soon as the inquiry has been completed I shall be glad to communicate the result to the hon. Member.
