HC Deb 02 August 1906 vol 162 cc1379-80
MR. A. ROCHE (Cork)

I bog to ask the Postmaster-General whether overseers in the telegraph department of the Cork Post Office frequently act in the capacity of instrument operators; and, if so, whether a like system obtains in the Dublin General Post Office.

MR. SYDNEY BUXTON

Neither in Dublin nor in Cork are overseers regularly employed on instrument work, but it is their duty to be ready to assist at any point where there is special need of their services.
