HC Deb 04 July 1889 vol 337 c1460
MR. TUITE (Westmeath, N.)

I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he can state the grounds on which John Kelly, letter carrier, Killygordon, has been dismissed?

* The POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. RAIKES,) University of Cambridge

John Kelly was never appointed as letter carrier, or more properly postman, at Killygordon. He was only employed (as he well knew) in a temporary capacity, pending the selection of a man for the vacant post, and his services were, of course, discontinued when the selection was made.
