HC Deb 27 June 1898 vol 60 cc205-6
MR. DALY (Monaghan, S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that great inconvenience is occasioned to the people of the north of Ireland owing to the delay of about two hours of the mails at Dundalk every morning; and whether he can state if any arrangements have been come to for the earlier despatch of those mails?

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY, ) Preston

The honourable Member's Question no doubt relates to the interval occurring at Dundalk between the arrival of the day mail train from Dublin at 7.21 a.m., and the despatch of the train to Enniskillen at 9 a.m. The Postmaster General has now arranged with the railway company to despatch the train to Enniskillen at 7.30 a.m., and the alteration will commence on the 1st proximo.
