HC Deb 21 May 1900 vol 83 cc742-3
MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether his attention has been called to the fact that mails despatched from Euston at night are not delivered in Roundwood, County Wicklow, until the day after their delivery in Dublin, although the distance from Dublin to Roundwood is only about twenty-five English miles; whether he has received a memorial in reference to this matter; and whether, in view of the inconvenience caused to the people of Roundwood by a delay of twenty-four hours in the delivery of the English mails and of the Dublin daily papers, he proposes to alter the present arrangements.

MR. HANBURY

No memorial for improved postal accommodation at Roundwood, County Wicklow, appears to have been received at the General Post Office, London. Inquiry is being made with the view of ascertaining whether the wishes of the inhabitants can be complied with, and an answer shall be sent to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
