§ MR. DALYI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, whether he is aware that much dissatisfaction exists among the inhabitants of Cullioville, county Monaghan, and Armagh, owing to the delay in sending the mails from Dundalk by the 7.30 a.m. train instead of the 9.25 a.m. train from Dundalk; whether he is aware that no house to house delivery of letters has yet taken place in the district mentioned; and whether he will take immediate steps to have the mails sent by the 7.30 a.m. train to Cullioville in the future from Dundalk, and a house to house delivery of letters in the district of Cullioville?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) PrestonApplications have been received for an earlier arrival of the mail at Cullioville by the employment of the 7.30 a.m. instead of the 9.25 a.m. train from Dundalk, and although the revenue available is fully absorbed by the existing expenditure, yet as the delivery at Cullioville, which is the only delivery in the day, is now late and the additional cost will be small, instructions have been given for the desired improvement to be carried 788 out. Inquiry is being made as to the best means of affording a house to house delivery throughout this district, and no time will be lost in dealing with the proposals of the Post Office Surveyor when received.
