§ MR. P. J. O'BRIEN (Tipperary, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he can now state if the contemplated arrangement has been come to with the Great Southern and Western Railway Company regarding the increased facilities for an earlier delivery of the daily mails to the towns of Roscrea, Nenagh, Birr, and districts; or, if not, what is the cause of the delay; and when may the people of the districts named hope for the improved service so much needed?
§ MR. HANBURYThis matter, which affects a great many services, and therefore involves much local inquiry, has been under consideration in Ireland, but as 21 the Reports have only just reached London, it is impossible at present to give the hon. Member any further answer.
