§ MR. DILLONasked the Postmaster General, Whether letters are still being opened in the Irish Post Office; and, if so, what precautions are taken to insure that they are not opened by subordinate officials for curiosity or with a dishonest purpose; whether a letter addressed to Eugene O'Callaghan, of Clifton Villa, 22 Limerick, and containing very important documents, was delivered to him opened, and a day late, on May 29th; and, whether, in such case, the Post Office authorities in Ireland refuse any satisfaction?
§ MR. FAWCETTSir, for reasons which have been often stated, the first part of the Question should be addressed either to the Home Secretary or to the Chief Secretary for Ireland. With regard to the latter part of the Question of the hon. Member, which refers to a letter addressed to Mr. O'Callaghan, I have asked for information, which, I believe, will reach me in a day or two.
