HC Deb 02 August 1898 vol 63 c861
MR. T. M. HEALY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, is he aware that the Irish Great Northern, Railway refuse to take third-class passengers on their morning mail train from Dublin, although all the other Irish companies fall in with the suggestions of the Post Office on this subject; and could the Department make a representation to the company as to this?

MR. HANBURY

The Postmaster General understands that third-class passengers are not conveyed by the morning mail train from Dublin on the Great Northern Railway. He would be very glad if the company could see its way to make this usual and reasonable concession to the travelling public, but he fears that the matter is not one in which he has any right to interfere with the discretion of the company.

MR. T. M. HEALY

Will the right honourable Gentleman make representations to the company on the subject?

MR. HANBURY

Yes, Sir.
