§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)On behalf of the hon. Member for East Wicklow, Mr. WILLIAM CORBET, I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether a Memorial has been received from the inhabitants of Glendalough, praying for some improvement in the postal arrangements; is he aware that Glendalough, being one of the chief centres of attraction, in Ireland, is crowded with English visitors in the summer time; and that the English mails are, under present arrangements, detained in Rathdrum, only eight miles off, for nearly 24 hours before being forwarded by foot postman to Glendalough; and will he take steps to grant the prayer of the Memorial?
§ MR. HANBURYThe Memorial referred to by the hon. Member has been received, and inquiry is being made with the view of ascertaining whether an acceleration in the delivery of English correspondence at Glendalough is practicable.
