asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is aware that no postmaster has yet been appointed permanently for Hollywood (Naas) office, which has been vacant for a considerable time, and if he can state when the position will be filled.

The inquiries regarding the filling of the sub-postmastership at Hollywood Post Office have been protracted, but I have now received the report on the candidates, and I hope to be in a position to deal with the appointment in the course of a day or so.
