§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Postmaster General whether he has received any complaints from the Secretary of the Navan Gaelic League as to the refusal of the local postal authorities to furnish him with a money order because the name of the payee was in Irish; and what steps he proposes to take to comply with the wishes of a very large section of the Irish people in this matter.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINMy attention has been drawn to this case, and I have caused the complainant to be informed that, as the names of the remitter and payee of a money order have to be advised from office to office, the writing of such names in Irish characters on a requisition form cannot be sanctioned.
§ MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAINI am afraid the Post Office cannot be used as a seminary for teaching the Irish language.
