MR. T. M. HEALYI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, what period elapses between the arrival of the evening mail boat at Kingstown and the delivery of English letters in Kingstown and the towns thence to Bray?
§ MR. HANBURYThere is an interval of 45 minutes between the arrival of the evening mail packet at Kingstown and the commencement of the delivery of the English letters. At Bray the mails arrive at 5.30 p.m., and the delivery begins at 5.55 p.m., the interval thus being 25 minutes. At Dalkey, Killiney, and Ballybrack the English letters are not specially delivered, but are included in the general delivery beginning in each case at 8 p.m.
MR. T. M. HEALYDo I understand the right honourable Gentleman to say there is only an interval of three-quarters of an hour between the arrival of the mail boat and the commencement of the delivery at Kingstown?
§ MR. HANBURYSo I am informed.
