§ MR. T. J. CONDON (Tipperary, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether it is in the contemplation 936 of the Government to substitute or build a new post office in Clonmel in lieu of the present building, and whether a site has been selected by the surveyors of the Department situate at the extreme end of the lower portion of the town, and opposite the gates of the military barracks; whether he is aware that such site is objected to by the inhabitants of the town as being unsuitable and inconvenient, especially to ladies; whether the wishes of the townspeople or of the Corporation were in any way consulted as to the choice of a site; whether any advertisement was issued applying for a site; and, if not, what steps did the surveyors take to ascertain whether more suitable sites could be obtained from persons other than the owners of unoccupied premises?
§ MR. HANBURYIt is in contemplation to provide a new post office at Clonmel, but no premises or site have as yet been selected. Several sites are under consideration, and before a definite choice is made the views of the local authorities on the subject will, as usual, be ascertained.
