asked the Postmaster-General whether the Saturday afternoon delivery of letters in Dun Laoghaire has been restored, and whether he is prepared to restore a similar delivery in Dalkey, Co. Dublin.
WRITTEN ANSWERS. - POSTAL FACILITIES IN DUN LAOGHAIRE & DALKEY.
In response to representations from the local Urban District Council, the Saturday evening delivery of letters was restored at Dun Laoghaire on the 29th September last. As regards Dalkey, the local Council consented some years ago to the discontinuance of the Saturday evening delivery in order that the postmen might have a part holiday. No application for the restoration of this delivery has been received from the local authorities, but if such an application were made, I would be prepared to grant the desired facilities, but this would, of course, involve the cessation of the postmen's part holiday.
