HC Deb 18 July 1907 vol 178 cc895-6
MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)

To ask the Postmaster-General whether his attention has been called to the case of Michael Shea, who has acted as rural postman between Kenmare and Bonane for twenty-four years and six months, and who has sent in his replies to questions submitted for superannuation purposes seven weeks ago but has not yet received any further notification; and whether the case will be dealt with immediately, as he has no other means of support since he was relieved of his duty through age and infirmity.

(Answered by Mr. Sydney Buxton.) I am making inquiries in the matter. In the meantime I will see if any payment can be made to Shea pending a settlement of the question whether he is eligible for any award under the Superannuation Acts.
