§ MR. PATRICK JOSEPH O'BRIEN (Tipperary, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware of an application having been recently made on behalf of the residents of Congor and Coolagoona, in the Borrisokane postal district of North Tipperary, for a delivery of letters in the locality; whether the accommodation could be afforded with little or no additional expense by the postal messenger from Borrisokane to Arderny sub-office, making a detour on his walk of not more than a mile and a half; and whether, in regard to the fact that some 20 or more respectable families in this neighbourhood are obliged to send to Arderong, a considerable distance, for their letters, he will be able to facilitate the improved service as proposed?
§ MR. HANBURYNo, Sir. The attention of the Postmaster General has not been called to an application recently made on behalf of the residents of Connor and Coolagoona for a delivery of letters in the locality. Inquiry on the subject is probably being made in Ireland; in any case the honourable Member may rest assured that a delivery of letters in this locality—as in all others—will be given in accordance with the promise of the Government.
