§ Mr. MAURICE HEALYasked the Postmaster-General whether, in making the appointments of postmen now pending at the Cork post office out of revision, the claims of the 15 ox-telegraph messengers on the unestablished list, and who have for years been acting as postmen, will be recognised in preference to the claims of ex-Army men employed on casual work, and whose service in the Post Office does not exceed a few months; and whether he will take into consideration that this revision is practically the only prospect in life of the unestablished postmen referred to at their age and service?
§ Mr. BUXTONThe proposed revision of the postal arrangements at Cork is still under consideration; and at present I am unable to make any statement on the subject of the question.
