§ MR. FFRENCHI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that the people of Ramsgrange and Hook parishes are inconvenienced in the matter of the delivery of letters owing to the fact that they are at present in the Waterford postal district; and whether he will consider the advisability of amalgamating said parishes with the Wexford postal system, as suggested by the Wexford County Council at their last meeting.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINThe Postmaster General has repeatedly considered the question of transferring Ramsgrange and other places in the neighbourhood from the Waterford postal area to the Wexford postal area, and has explained to the Wexford County Council that it would not be practicable, if the transfer were made, to afford so good a service as that at present provided. He can hold out no hope that the suggestion of the County Council will be adopted, but he has directed some further inquiry to be made, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member in due course.
