Vol. 166 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Resignations from Postal Services.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will state the number of persons of each grade, up to that of Post Office Clerk, who have voluntarily resigned from service in his Department in each of the years 1948 to 1957, inclusive, and for the months of January and February, 1958.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to circulate it with the Official Report.

Following is the statement:—
