§ Mr. FRANCIS MEEHANasked the Postmaster-General whether he has received a memorial, signed by a number of people in the district, midway between the towns of Kinlough and Ballyshannon, requesting that a post office be opened in the townland of Derryherk, county Leitrim; and whether, on taking into consideration the delay in delivery and posting of letters and parcels through want of this office, and that the people are prepared to give a guarantee, he will further consider the matter?
§ Mr. HERBERT SAMUELThe Memorial was duly received, but the amount of business which would probably be transacted is not sufficient to justify the expense of an office. I was not aware that the residents are prepared to give a guarantee, and I will have further inquiry made on that point. A letter-box has recently been erected in the locality.
