§ Captain REDMONDasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that the civilian employés in the Ordnance Depot, Island Bridge, are all ex-service men who have served in various countries and have in many cases over twenty years' service with the Department; that an attempt by the C.O.O. Dublin to do away with these employés is now under consideration, asking for a guarantee to retain the military for a lengthened period, which practice has never been a success in the Department; and will he take steps to see that the custom of employment for ex-service men in Ireland be carried out as before the War?
§ Sir A. WILLIAMSONI have called for a report, and will communicate with the hon. and gallant Member as soon as possible.
