§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (Cork, E.)On behalf of the hon. Member for Cork Co., W. (Mr. JAMES GILHOOLY), I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether his attention has been directed to the defective postal arrangements between Schell and Crookhaven; and, if so, whether 110 intends to improve them?
§ Mr. HANBURYSince the Question put by the hon. Member on this subject on the 11th March last, full inquiry has been made, as to the possibility of improving the mail service to Schull and Crookhaven, but it is found that the conveyance of the mails from Skibbereen railway instead of by road, as desired, would involve a very large increase of expense which the advantage to be gained is altogether insufficient to warrant; an answer the above effect was sent to the hon. Member on the 31st March.
