§ MR. P. J. O'BRIEN (Tipperary, N.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he could see his way to so far improve the postal service at Glastrigan, county Tipperary, and in the neighbourhood of the Grenane Creamery, by the appointment of an additional postman for the convenience to the district of an evening post, with a dispatch of letters at about 4 or 5 p.m. to Borrisoleigh, in lieu of a sub-post office at Glastrigan.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) As I informed the hon. Member by letter on the 25th ultimo, the cost of the postal service at Glastrigan is already very high as compared with the revenue from the correspondence, and I should not be justified in incurring the additional expense necessary for carrying out the improvement desired. I regret, therefore, that I am unable to meet the hon. Member's wishes in the matter.
