To ask the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that the acting sub-postmistress of Trim, county Meath, refused to pay wages on Saturday the 3rd instant on the ground that there was no money, that she ordered a man who was oft duty at 1 p.m. to attend at 8 p.m. without payment, when she would have some money, and, because he was unable to, called upon him to give an explanation of this conduct; and whether he will see that proper arrangements for paying wages are made at Trim.

I will make inquiry and communicate the result to the hon. Member.
