§ MR. J. P. FARRELL (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, in view of the fact that at present a line of telegraph is being laid from Longford to Kenagh, and with very small additional expense could also be laid to Lanes-borough, and that the latter place is now a port of call for the Shannon lake steamers, whether he will recommend that, for the convenience of tourists and others, the telegraph line be continued to Lanes-borough.
§ MR. HANBURYA telegraph extension to Lanesborough shall be carried out if the ordinary guarantee is given.
