HC Deb 15 May 1905 vol 146 cc267-8
MR. NANNETTI

To ask the Postmaster-General if he is aware that certain officers employed on the Great Southern and Western Travelling Post Office have to proceed from Dublin to Cork on two days of the week, notwithstanding that they were originally appointed on the condition that Limerick Junction was to be the terminus of the journey, and that on the other four days of the week the officers travel to Limerick Junction only; and whether, seeing that the result of the trips to Cork necessitates the officers paying for lodgings in Dublin, Cork, and Limerick Junction, and that the journey from Dublin to Cork and back in a single day has been condemned by the medical officer, he will see that the practice is discontinued and the men required to travel according to the original stipulation only.

(Answered by Lord Stanley.) I will make inquiry on this subject and communicate the result to the hon. Member.
