HC Deb 24 October 1899 vol 77 cc582-3
MR. P. A. M'HUGH (Leitrim, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the erection of a new post office in Sligo, for which provision was made last session in the Estimates, has been commenced; and if not, can he explain the cause of the delay; has a site been definitely fixed on; and when will the erection of the building be proceeded with.

MR. HANBURY

The purchase of the site at Fish Corner is almost completed. The plans are almost ready for final approval, and it is expected that the building will be commenced during the present financial year.
