I am not aware of the unnecessary delays referred to. Letters for both places posted at Clifden in time for the outgoing evening despatch are delivered the following day, Sunday excepted.
If the Deputy will let me have particulars of any specific cases of delay, I will have inquiries made.
Is the Minister aware of the ridiculous situation there is that a letter posted five miles away in Ballyconneeley has to go 105 miles before it is delivered, whereas if the bus brought the mail, it could be delivered within an hour?
I shall have that examined.
