HC Deb 17 February 1904 vol 130 cc7-8
MR. COGAN (Wicklow, E.)

To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that there are three or four deliveries daily of letters within the greater portion of the urban district of Wicklow, but that there is only one delivery daily at 6.30 a.m. in the part of the urban district called Bolarney, and that therefore letters arriving by the 7.20 a.m. train are not delivered until the following morning; and, if so, whether he will cause such steps to be taken as will ensure a morning delivery of all letters arriving the same morning to every resident within the urban district, and to those who reside adjacent to the urban boundary.

(Answered by Lord Stanley.) I have made inquiry on the question of affording a second delivery in the day in Bolarney, but I regret to find that, owing to the small number of letters affected, I should not be justified in incurring the additional expense necessary for affording the desired accommodation.
