§ MR. O'DOWDI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether a memorial signed by the inhabitants of Riverstown, county Sligo, calling for a mid-day delivery of mails in that town has been received by him; whether he is aware that the central distributing station of Ballymote is only seven miles distant, and that letters arriving there by the mid-day limited mail train are not delivered in Riverstown until the following day; and whether, in view of these facts, arrangements will be made by which the postal facilities asked for can be granted.
LORD STANLEYI have not yet received a memorial asking for a midday delivery of letters at Riverstown, county Sligo, but inquiry shall be made on the subject and an answer sent to the hon. Member.
§ MR. O'DOWDBut the memorial was sent last September.
