§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury, If he will state what are the salaries paid 106 respectively to the principal clerks of Customs and principal clerks of Inland Revenue at the ports of Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Londonderry, Limerick, and Waterford; whether the duties of these officials are not similar in their nature; and, if so, why they are not put on an equality in the matter of salary; and, whether pay for "overtime" is allowed to these officials in either and which Department?
§ MR. COURTNEYThere are principal clerks in the Customs at Dublin and Belfast with salaries at present rising to £600; but there are none at the other ports named. They would be paid for overtime if necessary; but practically never are so. There are no principal clerks in the Inland Revenue in Ireland; and I am not aware to what class of officials the hon. Member alludes as discharging similar duties to the principal clerks in the Customs.
