§ MR. J. P. NANNETTI (Dublin, College Green)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that passengers from America arriving at night at Queenstown are caused delay and expense owing to the refusal of the Great Southern and Western Railway to carry them by the train bearing the mails to Dublin; and whether, seeing that tourists and others on going out to America via Queens-town are taken to that port by the train bearing the mails, he will see if it is possible to remove the difficulty complained of by those coming in.
§ (Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) As the hon. Member is no doubt aware, passengers are already conveyed by most of the special American mail trains from Queenstown to Dublin. Some difficulty appears to have recently arisen in consequence of the railway company now running fewer special trains than formerly for passengers in connection with the homeward American packets. I am, however, making further inquiry as to the position of the Post Office in the matter, and will communicate the result to the hon. Member.
