§ MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether, within the last two years, any clerks of Unions in Ireland, have applied 954 for vacant auditorships of union accounts; and whether any clerks of Unions have been promoted to the position of Auditor.
MR. J. MORLEYDuring the past two years, four clerks of Unions have applied to be appointed to the position of Auditor under the Local Government Board. One vacancy only has arisen in that period, and the candidate finally selected was not one of the Gentlemen referred to.
§ MR. JAMES O'CONNORasked if there was any rule against such appointments.
