GENERAL POST OFFICE, DUBLIN (REBUILDING).

HC Deb 22 June 1917 vol 94 cc2118-9

11. Mr. BYRNE

asked the Postmaster-General when the General Post Office in Dublin will be rebuilt; and if he will state the cause of the delay?

The ASSISTANT POSTMASTER-GENERAL (Mr. Pease)

No definite steps have been taken at present in the way of actual rebuilding. I contemplate rearrangement, if possible, of some of the Post Office Departments in Dublin, which are now housed in various parts of the city, and the question, which is somewhat complicated, requires much consideration. I may say that, before the fire, the Post Office accommodation in Dublin, and the possibility of improving it, was before my predecessors more than once, but the difficulties in the way of a satisfactory settlement were then insuperable.
