HC Deb 12 March 1900 vol 80 c594
MR.J. F. X. O'BRIEN (Cork)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether arrangements are now complete so as to permit the work on the new post office in Cork to be begun; and, if so, when is the work to be begun.

MR. HANBURY

Plans of the alterations have been prepared, and are under consideration, but they have not yet been finally approved. It is intended to begin the work during the ensuing financial year.

CAPTAIN DONELAN

What caused the delay?

MR. HANBURY

I rather venture to think they wanted a better plan than was originally designed.
