§ MR. FAYasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether it is the intention of the Executive to restore the Stamp Office of Monaghan to its position as a head office, in conformity with the Resolution in that behalf passed by the Grand Jury of the county of Monaghan at last Assizes, such Resolution having been based on the grounds of public convenience; and, whether, if it is the intention of the Government to comply with such Resolution, the present Distributor of Stamps at Monaghan, who has held that office for sixteen years, will be appointed as such Head Distributor on entering into proper securities?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHThe Stamp Office of Monaghan has been for upwards of 16 years in charge of a subdistributor, who is subordinate to the 1855 head distributor at Dundalk. No alteration in his position has been made or is contemplated by the Board of Inland Revenue; but inquiries have been ordered as to the recommendation of the Grand Jury that Monaghan should be made a head office.
