§ MR. MAURICE HEALY (Cork)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether the Postmaster General has considered the memorial presented more than twelve months ago from the residents of Ashburton, Dillon's Cross, Mayfield, and neighbourhood on the north-east side of the city of Cork, to have a post office established at Dillon's Cross, the district being at present only served by a wall letter-box; and whether, in view of the fact that the nearest post office is a mile away from the greater portion of the district in question, which is one where the population is increasing and many new houses are being built, and of the inconvenience caused by the present want of postal facilities in this important and growing district, a post office will be opened there, as requested.
§ MR. HANBURYNo such memorial has been received. The Postmaster General has called for a report, and will communicate his decision upon it in due course to the hon. Member.
