§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County-Ossory)I beg to ask the Postmaster General if he is aware that a regulation has been laid down by the Controller of Telegraphs in Dublin prohibiting telegraphists on eight hours continuous duty from having more than one incidental relief of ten minutes duration; and will he see that the regulation is immediately withdrawn in the interest of the health of the staff.
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONNo regulation of the kind has been laid down, but steps have been properly taken at Dublin to prevent the abuse of casual relief in the case of a few officers. In any case where there was any suggestion of possible injury to health the medical officer has been consulted.
§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY (Limerick, W.)How many men work this continuous duty?
§ MR. SYDNEY BUXTONasked for notice of the Question.
