§ MR. J. P. FARRELL () Cavan, W.I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has yet received the report of the inspector into the hours of employment in Longford 'post office; whether the hours of the men are alternately from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m., including a night delivery, which could be done by the auxiliary postman as well as the permanent staff; and will he see that the auxiliary man is therefore appointed.
§ MR. HANBURYNo postman, it appears, attends from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. An auxiliary postman could not be employed on the last delivery without reducing the average attendance of the two established postmen to less than a full duty, but the attendance of one of the established postmen will be readjusted so as to give him a longer interval off duty.
