HC Deb 07 July 1898 vol 61 cc163-4
MR. DALY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the improved mail arrangements from Dundalk to Enniskillen recently made will also benefit Carrickmacross, Castleblaney, and Ballybay; and, if not, will he explain why?

MR. HANBURY

The accelerated day mail train from Dundalk to Enniskillen is to call at Castleblaney and Ballybay, but whether the postmen's delivery should be made at once or wait, as before, for the arrival of the Scotch letters, is a matter which is being considered. In any case callers will be able to obtain their English letters earlier. Carrickmacross is not upon the main line, but upon one of the branches, and the railway company have not yet finally determined what the arrangements for the branch lines are to be.
