The very small quantity of mail concerned, which averages less than 20 items per day, would not justify the reintroduction of a second daily postal delivery in Cloghan. The items are available to callers to the Post Office from 12 noon each week day.
Is it not a fact that officials are going through the country and arranging for the discontinuance of other services?
That is a separate matter.
The position is that a reorganisation of postal services was initiated some years ago and that reorganisation is not completed yet. The idea is to give each citizen in each postal district a uniform method of delivery.
