asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the number of (a) open and (b) confined examinations for exclusively Post Office grades which were held in 1959; the dates upon which the several examinations were held; the number of candidates who competed in each examination; the number who were declared successful; and when the results of each examination were announced.

During 1959, 35 open and 8 confined competitions were held for recruitment to exclusively Post Office grades.
As the rest of the information is in tabular form, I propose, with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
