Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Dublin Postal District.
22.
Mr. Ryan
Beechpark Road is at present in the Blackrock delivery district but will shortly be transferred to the Foxrock district as a result of a revision of delivery services in the area. Individual householders whose postal address will be changed will be notified in advance.
Mr. Ryan
Is the Minister aware that letters addressed to Beechpark in Blackrock have had the word "Blackrock" crossed out and the word "Foxrock" written in by the postal authorities, and that this, apparently, caused several weeks' delay in the delivery of some postal packages, and that the reverse has also occurred? Can the Minister give any indication as to when this confusion will be cleared up?
In reply to the Deputy's question, I have told him that Beechpark Road is at present in Blackrock delivery district and if a Post Office official makes a change that is incorrect, I will have the matter investigated if the Deputy will give me particulars.
Mr. Ryan
This matter has been brought to the notice of the Minister's Department times out of number. I have seen copies of several letters making these complaints. Can the Minister give any indication as to how soon a change will be made from the Blackrock to the Foxrock area?
I have not got the complaints the Deputy is referring to. The change will be made shortly. I am unable to give the Deputy the date.
With your permission, Sir, I should like to raise on the Adjournment the subject matter of Question No. 9 on yesterday's Order Paper.
the Chair will communicate with the Deputy.
