58. Mr. T. WILSONasked the Postmaster-General whether complaints have been received from the Association of Irish Post Office Clerks relative to the conduct of the senior superintendent of the Dublin sorting office towards the assistant-superintendents, overseers, and staff under his control; whether these complaints have received consideration; whether it has been requested by the association that this officer should be removed from the sorting office to some other duties consonant with his rank; and, if so, will he say what steps have been taken in the matter.
§ Mr. ILLINGWORTHA number of complaints have been received, but on inquiry they have generally proved to be either exaggerated or devoid of foundation. I do not propose to remove the officer to other duties, more especially as he is approaching the age for retirements.
