HC Deb 29 June 1899 vol 73 c982
MR. MACALEESE

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, when the new Postmaster at Dundalk will take up his duties; what is the date of the gentleman's appointment; and is he an Irishman.

MR. HANBURY

The new Postmaster will take up his duties on the 1st July, the appointment having been conferred upon him by the Postmaster-General on the 13th June. He has served in Ireland for upwards of 34 years.

MR. MACALEESE

What about his nationality?

MR. HANBURY

I do not think inquiry was made into that.
