§ MR. NANNETTII beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, if he is aware of the inconvenience caused to solicitors and others by the closing of the post office at Inns Quay, Dublin, and that complaints have been made of the absence it any place to post letters along the quays except in the hall of the Four Courts, which is closed at an hour unsuitable to solicitors and other professional men, who require to post their letters later in the evening; whether his attention has been directed to a memorial signed by influential people and solicitors, on behalf of a lady who carries on a stationery business at Upper Ormond Quay, asking for the opening of a post office at her establishment; and whether the Postmaster General will grant the prayer of the memorial in view of the inconvenience caused by the closing of the post office referred to above.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINNo complaints have been received of inconvenience caused by the closing of the Inn's Quay office, Dublin. A memorial such as that described was received, but the person therein recommended was not eligible for appointment, inasmuch as she did not reside on the premises in which she carried on business, and was merely a weekly tenant. Arrangements have now been made for an office to replace the Inn's Quay office, and a sub-postmistress has been appointed.
