HC Deb 18 July 1901 vol 97 cc857-8
MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that a notice has been affixed to the letter-box in Laragh village, Glendalough, stating that in future there will be no Sunday collection there, and seeing that Laragh village is the principal distributing and collecting centre for the whole of the sub-district of Glendalough, and that the mail car stops, both on its outward and homeward journey, at the spot where the letter receiver is erected, whether he can state why such instructions have been issued, on whose advice were they issued, and whether it is intended to discontinue the Sunday service to Glendalough.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

It appears that on a manuscript notice temporarily affixed to the letter-box in Laragh village it was incorrectly stated that there was no Sunday collection. The matter has since been set right, and the Sunday collection will be made as usual at 6.40 p.m.
