§ MR. O'DOHERTY (Donegal, N.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the Milford Rural District Council, being the local authority for the district in which the town of Rosnakill 599 is situate, have unanimously agreed to give to the Post Office the usual guarantee requisite for the establishment of a telegraph station at Rosnakill, county Donegal; and, if so, seeing that Rosnakill has a large monthly market, and is the chief business centre for that district, he will reconsider his decision and accede to the wishes of the Milford District Council by establishing a telegraph office at this town.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) My predecessor explained to the hon. Member, in answer to a Question on the 5th March last year,† that he would not be justified in opening a telegraph office at Rosnakill even under guarantee, because there was already a telegraph office within three quarters of a mile, which appeared to meet the needs of the district. I will have renewed inquiry made and let the hon. Member know the result in due course.
