§ MR. CLANCY (Dublin Co., N.)I beg to ask the Postmaster General whether the present Secretary of the General Post Office, Dublin, is about to vacate that office; whether his attention has been directed to the fact that the post of Secretary, and all the other higher posts in the Dublin office, have been filled almost invariably by Protestants, and, in many cases, by Englishmen; and whether, in the event of the 664 present Secretary retiring from office, or being promoted, he will consider the advisability of appointing an Irishman and Catholic as his successor?
§ THE POSTMASTER GENERAL (Mr. A. MORLEY,) Nottingham, E.So far as I am aware, there is no foundation for the rumour that the Secretary to the Post Office in Ireland is about to vacate his office.
