§ Mr. EDWARD KELLYasked the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that the public of Dublin and its suburbs are extremely inconvenienced by the withdrawal of a night collection of letters; and will he give an assurance that the present proposals are tentative only, and are open to revision if he is satisfied that they do not meet with the reasonable requirements of the public?
§ Mr. PEASEThe last collection of letters in Dublin has been fixed at about 9 p.m. in order to give the staff more convenient hours of attendance. The last collection in Dublin is not earlier than in Manchester, Liverpool and other large cities in England, and is, in my opinion, sufficiently late to meet the reasonable requirements of the public. But if there is any evidence to the contrary my right hon. Friend will be prepared to consider it.
