§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Monaghan, N.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has yet filled the recently vacated office of Sub-Postmaster of Aghaboy, county Monaghan; and, whether he will consult local feeling in the matter, and defer making the appointment until he can have the advantage of the opinion of the majority of the people of the district as to the claims and fitness of the person most acceptable to them for the office to guide him in making the appointment?
§ MR. RAIKESThe vacancy for a Sub-Postmaster at Aghaboy has not yet been officially reported to me. I can, therefore, only assure the hon. Member that, when it is so reported, I shall select for appointment the candidate whom I may ascertain to be best qualified to perform the duties of the office to the satisfaction of the Department and the public generally.
