§ MR. FETHERSTONHAUGHTo ask the Postmaster-General if he is aware that a man named Terence Daly has for over twenty years discharged the duties of postman in the considerable town of Bundoran, county Donegal; whether Daly is entitled, by reason of long service, to any pension in case of retirement; if not, will he inquire into the case with the view to having Daly put on the establishment, so as to entitle him to pension.
(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) Daly is an auxiliary postman not doing a whole-time duty, and not eligible for any award under the Superannuation Acts, or to be placed on the establishment. On his retirement, however, I will inquire whether his case is one for a grant from a compassionate fund placed at my disposal by Parliament.
