HC Deb 04 November 1920 vol 134 c606W
Mr. W. COOTE

asked the Postmaster-General if the postmaster of Omagh, county Tyrone, is exhibiting Sinn Fein methods in a loyalist district and pursuing a campaign of religious bigotry whereby he has converted a staff of clerks once evenly balanced to one composed of 15 Roman Catholics and Sinn Feiners and four Protestants and Loyalists, one of the latter of whom he has threatened with dismissal; if such is the suspicion created by this man's public conduct that the Government authorities have deemed it necessary to carry out a military raid both upon the Omagh post office and this man's private house; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. ILLINGWORTH

I am enquiring into the matter and will communicate further with the hon. Member.
