§ MR. MACALEESE (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, what steps have been taken to carry out the promise made some time ago to regularise the delivery of mails in the Carrickroe district, county Monaghan, where dissatisfaction exists in consequence of certain townlands receiving only two while others receive four deliveries in the week.
§ MR. HANBURYThe official delivery is about to be extended to some unserved houses near Carrickroe: but the Post-master General regrets to find, as the result of the further inquiry which has been made, that he would not be justified in increasing the frequency of the service in other parts of the district. No promise to equalise the service throughout this district was made in the answer to the hon. Member's previous question.
§ MR. WILLIAM REDMONDIn view of the great delays, will the right hon. Gentleman hurry the matter forward?
§ MR. HANBURYThere are special difficulties to be overcome.
