§ MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can explain why Constable Woulfe, of the Dublin Metropolitan Police, was appointed to the telegraph office, Dublin Castle, over the heads of other members of the force who had obtained first and second-class certificates; and whether, in view of the police orders that no such appointment will be given to any person having only a third-class certificate, he will inquire why Woulfe was selected for the position.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe constable was the senior eligible man of those recommended as fit for the appointment. 1475 There is no police order limiting the selection to men having first or second-class certificates.
