HC Deb 23 February 1897 vol 46 c970
MR. PATRICK M'HUGH (Leitrim, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he has received representations from the inhabitants of Cormongan, and adjoining districts, near Drumshanbo, County Leitrim, complaining of the want of postal accommodation; is he aware that the Postmaster at Drumshanbo, who is a shopkeeper, has opposed the establishment of a sub-post office at Cormongan; and will he have the matter inquired into with a view to granting the people of Cormongan the accomodation they ask for?

MR. HANBURY

The Postmaster General has not received any representations in regard to the want of postal accommodation in the district referred to, and he is not aware that the postmaster at Drumshanbo is opposed to the establishment of a sub-post office at Cormongan. Inquiry will be made as to the possibility of establishing a post office at Cormongan, and the result shall be communicated to the hon. Member.
