asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he received from residents of Dalkey, County Dublin, a petition asking for the establishment of a salaried sub-post office; whether he is aware that the scale payment office in the town does not transact business relating to a variety of matters usually transacted in salaried sub-offices, that local residents are grievously inconvenienced thereby and that in many respects the present arrangements are unsatisfactory; and whether, in the circumstances, he is prepared, in view of the fact that some suitable premises are now vacant in centrally-situated districts in the town, to take immediate steps to establish a salaried sub-office.
