	Irish Philatelic Newsletter
		On 1 April 1862, Burtonport was transferred to the control of Strabane, which in 1860 had assumed control of the whole of North West Donegal including Letterkenny, which had been reduced to the status of a sub office.
		These did not include Burtonport, but now substantial volumes of mail previously sorted and transferred at Strabane were handled at Lifford where a new post office had been built immediately adjacent to the station.
		The Burtonport Extension of the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway ran as far as Gweedore until January 1947 so perhaps mail was transferred back to that line during the war years.

		Burtonport is a long way from Dublin and I drove there for a funeral this morning.
		I was not impressed that navigating around the last 40km was made all the more difficult by a government policy which appears to have its roots in little more than idiocy.

		Everyone knew that if we were going to be blessed, a Wilson's Petrel would be our chief scalp, so all petrels were looked at as thoroughly as possible.
