§ MR. JOSEPH DEVLINI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that there is no Sunday delivery of letters in the district of Galway and Crosspatrick, county Kilkenny; that there is no delivery there from Saturday morning till Monday morning, and that letters reaching Johnstown by the midday and night mails on Saturday, and by the mail on Sunday morning, have to lie in the post office until Monday morning before being delivered; and, if so, whether, seeing that other districts with a smaller population have the benefit of a Sunday delivery, and in view of the small extra expense involved, he will endeavour to meet the wishes of the people of the Johnstown sub-district by instituting a Sunday delivery forthwith.
LORD STANLEYI will have inquiry made on the subject, and will acquaint the hon. Member with the result. May I ask that in such cases as this I shall have more notice. I cannot possibly investigate the facts at such short notice.
