§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork County, W.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether a steamboat or motor-car is to be used in the proposed arrangements for a better mail service to Castletown, Berehaven; and whether, before making final arrangements, he will elicit the opinions of the 520 local public boards as to what would be the most convenient arrangements for the district.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) It has not yet been possible to make arrangements for improving the mail service to Castletown, Berehaven, either by steamboat or motor-car, but the inquiries on the subject are not yet completed. The officers of the Department in the locality are in a position to ascertain the wishes of those concerned, and I do not think that a formal consultation of the local public boards would be useful.
