asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he can state the reasons for the delay in filling the vacant position of postmaster at Portarlington, Leix, and if, in view of the alleged unsatisfactory working and dissatisfaction amongst the local staff, he will issue instructions for the appointment of postmaster without further delay.
