asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is aware that the present scale of fees charged for the delivery of telegrams throughout the country is prohibitive, and if he would consider taking steps to revise same.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - TELEGRAM DELIVERY COST.
I have been considering whether any modification of the charges for delivery of telegrams to rural districts is feasible, having in mind in that connection the considerable deficit in the working of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs.
As soon as my inquiries, which must necessarily be protracted and exhaustive, are completed, I will advise the Deputy of the decision taken.
