Cross-Channel correspondence received by the night mail boat cannot be included in the morning postal delivery in the Dún Laoghaire Borough area. The interval is too short between the arrival of the boat and the commencement of the delivery. The boat is due to arrive at 6.45 a.m. and the delivery commences at 7 a.m.
Arising, however, out of representations from the Dún Laoghaire Borough Corporation and other bodies, the following change has been made. From the 24th instant, the second delivery in the borough area, which includes the cross-Channel correspondence, commences at 3 p.m., instead of 6 p.m. as heretofore.
