HC Deb 23 October 1902 vol 113 cc595-6
MR. CONOR O'KELLY (Mayo, N.)

To ask the Postmaster General if he has received any communication from the Ballina Urban Council relating to the proposed change of the post office in that town to a new site.

(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain.) I have received a communication from the urban district council of Ballina maintaining their objection to the removal of the post office from Knox Street to King Street, and suggesting the purchase of a site in Knox Street and the erection of a new building. This, however, is an arrangement which would be more expensive than the circumstances justify; the King Street scheme has therefore been sanctioned.
