asked the Postmaster-General if he is aware that much inconvenience is caused to the inhabitants of the Giltown, Donadea, district of Co. Kildare, on account of the fact that their letters are only delivered three times weekly; if he will arrange for a daily house delivery, or, in the alternative, for the erection of pillar box in which letters for the neighbourhood could be placed, a respectable resident being willing to take charge.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - POSTAL FACILITIES IN GILTOWN (CO. KILDARE).
I find that in consequence of the financial loss at which the postal service from Donadea to Giltown was maintained, it was necessary, in accordance with the general policy which is being pursued at present, to restrict the frequency of delivery to three days a week. Correspondence can be obtained on non-post days at Donadea Sub-Post Office.
The suggested erection of a pillar box in which letters might be placed for distribution to callers by a local resident could not be agreed to, at any rate for the present; but individual applications for the delivery of correspondence on non-post days at houses situated on post in the vicinity which may have a delivery on such days, would be favourably considered.
