§ MR. KENDAL O'BRIEN (Tipperary, Mid.)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he is aware that the present post office Roscrea has existed since 1877 without complaint: that the people of the town are opposed to the transfer of the office to a house which they consider inconvenient, on the ground that the new
† See Page 362.690 office is situated between two public houses; and whether, under these circumstances, he will reconsider the proposal to remove the office to another house.
LORD STANLEYThe present post office at Roscrea is not well adapted for post office requirements and could not be made suitable except at disproportionate expense. The only evidence which has reached me of any local dissatisfaction with the proposed removal is a memorial which I have just received from the Roscrea Board of Guardians. I am not aware whether the ground of their opposition is that stated by the hon. Member, as no reason is given for the opinions expressed in memorial. On the information before me, I see no reason for reconsidering the decision; but I have asked for a further report.
