§ MR. MACALEESEI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, has he sanctioned the erection of the proposed new post office in Clones, county Monaghan, on the top of a steep hill, in the Diamond, while several sites in the Central part of the town are available; and has any step been taken by the Department to ascertain the state of feeling in Clones upon this matter; and, if not, will an expression of opinion be elicited before final choice of site is made and the work proceeded with.
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General has not yet received a report giving particulars of the site for a new Post Office at Clones, mentioned in the answer to the hon. Member's Question of the 17th instant, nor has he sanctioned the selection of any site at present. Steps shall be taken, before a final selection is made, to give the local authorities an opportunity of expressing their views on the subject.
