HC Deb 16 June 1913 vol 54 c31
29. Mr. O'DOWD

asked the Postmaster-General whether he has received a memorial signed by the inhabitants of Cloonacool, Tubbercurry, county Sligo, praying for a Sunday delivery in that village; and, if so, whether he will accede to the wishes of the people in respect to such delivery?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I have received the memorial, but I regret that in view of the deficit on the existing postal service in the district, a Sunday delivery is not warranted.

Mr. O'DOWD

Is it not a fact that in all the surrounding villages there is a Sunday delivery carried on at very little cost? Could not the same be extended to Cloonacool?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I am afraid it would involve a very considerable increase of cost.
