§ MR. CAREW (Dublin, College Green)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the postal authorities have considered the alternative arrangement suggested for the delivery of the mails to Balnabracky and Clonard (county Meath) from Hill of Down Post Office, and with what result; and whether, inasmuch as Hill of Down is nearer to Kinnegad and to Dublin than Killucan, they would make it the office for the reception of the Kinnegad post instead of Killucan, as at present, and thus save 839 time and the expense of the mail car plying between Killucan and Kinnegad?
§ MR. HANBURYThe Postmaster General has not yet obtained the information necessary to enable him to consider the alternative arrangement for the delivery of the mails to Balnabracky and Clonard from Hill of Down Post Office. It is not possible to say at present whether Kinnegad could with advantage be served from Hill of Down instead of Killucan.
