HC Deb 16 July 1897 vol 51 c301
MR. GILHOOLY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he hits received memorials from the inhabitants of Lisavaird and Clonakilty showing the great want of a sub-post office at Lisavaird; whether merchants residing in Clonakilty have complained to the Secretary of the General Post Office, Dublin, that letters sent by them through the post to Lisavaird have been returned undelivered; and, if the above statements are correct, whether he will recommend that the prayers of the memoralists be granted?

MR. HANBURY

The Postmaster General has, during the last few days, received memorials from the inhabitants of Lisavaird and Clonakilty for the establishment of a sub-office at Lisavaird. These memorials will be duly considered. There is no trace in the General Post Office, Dublin, of complaints from Clonakilty merchants that letters sent by them through the post to Lisavaird have been returned undelivered. According to the most recent information at the disposal of the Department there appears to be no case for opening a sub-office at Lisavaird.
