§ MR. J. H. PARNELL (Meath, S.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, why cross-channel and late morning mails for Kilmessan, County Meath, are not sent to Kilmessan Station by the 9.30 a.m. train from Broadstone, in the same way as letters to other stations on the Dublin and Meath line of railway, instead of being sent by the Great Northern line round to Navan, where they are kept for 24 hours before being sent on for delivery?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) PrestonAn answer to a similar Question put by the hon. Member for Kilkenny was given on the 4th May last. Kilmessan receives one post a day viâ Navan at convenient hours, and the additional letters which could be sent out by the 9.30 a.m. train from Broadstone are few in number, and do not warrant the expense that would be incurred in the conveyance of the bags and the delivery of the letters. The Postmaster General regrets he is unable to meet the wishes of the inhabitants in this matter.
