§ MR. MEAGHERI beg to ask the Postmaster-General if he will reconsider his decision of not granting to Messrs. James Hogan and Patrick Kennedy, of Gaulstown, Rathmoyle, Kilkenny, a daily delivery of their letters from Tullaroan; is he aware that Mr. Hogan, who is a horse and cattle doctor, and known as Mr. Hogan of Tullaroan, suffers, as well as the farmers of the surrounding districts, inconvenience by reason of their letters going to the office of that place and being redirected; and, seeing that the Tullaroan postman in the discharge of his duties passes the doors of Messrs. Hogan and Kennedy every day, thereby rendering it of no cost or inconvenience, will he recommend that this grievance be removed.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONI have again considered the matter but I regret that, for the reasons which I recently explained to the hon. Member, I am unable to comply with his request. The Rathmoyle office is only one mile from the houses in question whereas the Tullaroan office is three miles.
§ MR. MEAGHERDoes the Post Office study the convenience of a single individual rather than that of the people of the district?
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThis matter has been considered from the point of view of the general convenience.
