§ MR. DOOGAN (Tyrone, E.)On behalf of the honourable Member for Mid Tyrone I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that much dissatisfaction exists amongst the inhabitants of Trillick and Kilskeery, county Tyrone, because of the refusal of the postal authorities to afford a second delivery and despatch of letters in these places; and that letters for Trillick and Kilskeery lie in the Ballinamallard post office from the noon of one day till the morning of the following day, thereby causing great inconvenience in many cases and acting as a hindrance to the growth and improvement of these localities; and as adjoining towns enjoy the advantage of a second delivery and despatch of letters, will he reconsider the matter with a view to placing Trillick and Kilskeery on an equal footing as regards postal facilities with Tempo, Ballinamallard, and neighbouring towns?
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. HANBURY,) PrestonA memorial for the establishment of a second delivery and despatch of letters at Trillick and Kilskeery was recently received, but inquiry shows that the desired facilities could not be provided except at a cost much in excess of the revenue available for the purpose, and the Postmaster General regrets that in the circumstances he is unable to meet the wishes of the inhabitants.
