MR. C. MACVEIGH (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the proposed removal of the Post Office from Killea, East Donegal, into the County Derry, to the inconvenience of the people now served by it; whether he is aware that the proposed change would only benefit a few at the cost of the bulk of the people having to walk long distances to post and obtain their letters; and whether he will take immediate steps to keep the office in the hands of 1103 the same family and in the same place, where it has given general satisfaction for years, and prevent an injustice being done to Donegal in order to serve Derry.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe necessary inquiries regarding the candidates for the vacant sub-office at Killea have not yet been completed. In selecting a new sub-postmaster, due regard will be given to the position of the premises offered. In the circumstances I can hold out no hope that a member of the family of the late sub-postmistress will be appointed.
