§ 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.
