HC Deb 16 July 1900 vol 86 cc80-1
MR. FLAVIN

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that dissatisfaction prevails in the western portion of Greeveguilla, situate near Killarney, county Kerry, owing to the fact that there is not a daily delivery of letters in that district; and whether, seeing that the Killarney Rural District Council passed a unanimous resolution in favour of a daily delivery of letters, and having regard to the representations made and the inconvenience caused, the Post Office authorities will take steps to remedy the grievance complained of.

MR. HANBURY

Applications have been received from persons residing in the townlands of Toornanonagh and Leamyglissane, which are in the neighbourhood of the Greeveguilla Post Office, for a delivery of correspondence on six days a week instead of four, as at present. In November last the delivery of letters in the neighbourhood was increased in frequency from two to four days a week in some cases, and from three to four days a week in other cases, and fresh returns are now being taken of the correspondence for the places in question, with the view of ascertaining whether a delivery every week day is now warranted.

MR. FLAVIN

Do I understand the right hon. Gentleman to say it is under consideration whether the application shall be acceded to?

MR. HANBURY

Yes, that is so.
