HC Deb 12 March 1895 vol 31 c890
CAPTAIN DONELLAN (Cork, E.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether any arrangement has yet been arrived at with the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company; and, if so, when he expects to be in a position to state the terms of agreement?

MR. ARNOLD MORLEY

No arrangement has yet been arrived at, but I hope shortly to receive an answer from the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company to some suggestions which I have made to the Company.

MR. G. W. WOLFF (Belfast)

Has the Post Office received any tenders, besides one from the City of Dublin?

MR. ARNOLD MORLEY

No, sir; not since I last read a statement on the subject to the House. I then said that there had been a tender received from a Liverpool firm. I could not accept that Liverpool tender, because it contained conditions with regard to the vessels to be employed which were opposed to the interests of the public service.
