§ MR. CHARLES CRAIG (Antrim, S.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether, having regard to the fact that letters posted in Belfast at 7.30 p.m. are not delivered at Ross sub-post office, near Mount Nugent, County Cavan, till the second day following, and that it takes the same time for a letter from Ross to be delivered in County Monaghan, he can see his way to have the delivery of these mails expedited.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) There is only one post a day to and from Ross, and it would not be practicable to expedite the delivery of the mails referred to, except by instituting a second post. As there is a loss to revenue on the existing service I should not, I am sorry to say, be justified in authorising an additional service.
