§ MR. O'MALLEY (Galway, Connemara)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that great inconvenience is occasioned by the late delivery of letters in Carna, Letterfrack, and other districts in Connemara, and if steps will be taken to cause an earlier and more punctual delivery of letters in those districts; and whether he will institute a Sunday delivery of letters in Carna.
§ MR. HANBURYConsidering the exposed nature of the roads and the bad weather in the winter, there does not appear to have been avoidable delay in the recent working of the mail cars. The present arrangements involve an expenditure much in excess of the revenue, and increased expense for affording an accelerated service is not warranted. In view of the deficiency of revenue a Sunday post to Carna would not be justified.
