§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether he is now in a position to state what steps have been taken to continue the telegraph office at Valentia Harbour, county Kerry, during the fishery season.
LORD STANLEYIt has not been proposed to open a temporary telegraph office this year at Valentia Harbour. When such an office was opened it was at the request and expense of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, but this year the company have not proposed the service.
§ MR. FLAVINIs this one of the boons conferred on the locality by the railway amalgamation?
§ MR. FLAVINIs the noble Lord aware that this is one of the most important fishing districts in the West of Ireland? Will he reconsider this?
LORD STANLEYI have had no request for the opening of the office, but if I receive one I will certainly consider it.
