Letter delivery delays in Dublin
Quinn raises non-delivery in Baggot Street and Rathmines and slow delivery near Pearse Street; the Minister invites case details and cites heavy mail volumes behind recent delays.
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is aware of the non-delivery of letters which are posted in Baggot Street Post Office and in the Rathmines area and of the extremely slow delivery of letters in the Pearse Street area of Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Comment on this
As regards the reference to non-delivery of letters, occasional complaints of non-delivery are received, and these are investigated as thoroughly as possible. I am not, however, aware of any special difficulties of this kind in the case of postings in either of the Baggot Street Post Offices or in the Rathmines area. If the Deputy will let me have particulars of any cases he may have in mind, I shall be glad to have them investigated.
As regards slow delivery in the Pearse Street area, there was delay in delivery of some letter mail during March and early April because of very heavy postings, which would have affected the area, but the position has improved.
