§ MR. NANNETTITo ask the Postmaster-General if he will state what is the number of superior appointments to be created in the telegraph office and in the sorting office, Dublin, as the result of the new scheme; and whether the appointments will be given to the staffs of the Dublin Office, and in each case the selections will be made solely according to seniority and efficiency.
(Answered by Lord Stanley.) The question of the number of additional superior appointments to be created in the Dublin Post Office is being considered, and the result will be announced to the staff in due course. The officers promoted will be those best fitted for the higher posts, due regard being paid to seniority.
