§ MR. W. O'MALLEY (Galway, Connemara)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if he has seen a resolution of the Grand Jurors of the County of Galway assembled at the Spring Assizes, urging the Government to grant a day mail service direct to Clifden; and if he will see his way to carry out the wishes of the Grand Jury in this matter?
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General has seen the resolution referred to. There is already a day mail service by railway to Clifden, but the Grand Jury appear to desire that the trains between Galway and Clifden shall work in close connection at Galway with the accelerated day mail trains on the main line. So far, however, as is known, the company do not propose to run for their own traffic such trains as those desired, and, in view of the large outlay which would be involved, the Postmaster General would not be justified in calling upon them to run special trains on this line for the day mails.
