§ CAPTAIN DONELANOn behalf of the hon. Member for South Donegal (Mr. J. SWIFT MACNEILL), I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that the establishment of a post office in Crilly, on the road from Pettigo to Castle Deep, in a thickly populated locality, is urgently demanded by the inhabitants, the nearest post office on one side of Crilly being three and a-half miles distant, and on the other side five miles distant; whether several applications have been made during the past three years to the postal authorities for the establishment of a post office in this district, and that recently a memorial has been presented to the Postmaster General, signed by the very Rev. John Curran McKenna, P. P., and the leading inhabitants, urging the necessity of this step in the interests of the district; and, whether the Postmaster General will accede to the request embodied in the memorial?
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General has received several applications for the establishment of a post office at Crilly, and amongst them the memorial from the Rev. J. C. McKenna, referred to by the hon. Member, but he regrets that the correspondence is too small in amount to warrant the cost of conveyance to Crilly and the salary of a sub-Postmaster.
