MR. SWIFTMACNEILL (Donegal, S.)To ask the Postmaster-General whether he has received recently further communications from Ballyshannon, in which complaint is made of the delay in the postal service and the great inconvenience and dislocation of business resulting therefrom, the letters of the first morning post not being delivered on some occasions during the last week till nearly mid-day; and whether he intends to take immediate steps to remedy this alleged grievance, which is one of long standing and the subject for 503 years of repeated representations to the postal authorities.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton). An application for the improvement of the service to Ballyshannon reached me a few days ago, and I am having inquiry made.
