Vol. 140 No. 5

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Kilkenny Post Office Appointment.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will stateif he has yet sanctioned an appointment to the position of sub-postmaster in Gowran, County Kilkenny; and, if so, the name and the qualifications of the new appointee.

Mr. James Lennon has been appointed.

It is not the practice to furnish information regarding the claims or qualifications of candidates for sub-postmasterships or other similar appointments as it would be difficult to do so without disclosing information obtained in confidence either from, or concerning, those persons.

Would the Minister state how many applications he had for this position?

I have not that information.

Would the Minister state when the inspection of premises took place?

I have not that information.

In view of the unsatisfactory nature of the Minister's reply I give notice that, with your permission, I propose to raise this matter on the Adjournment so that I may get more information.
