Up until 1830, the Irish mail service did not come under the control of the British Post Office and was overseen by it's own Postmaster General. In 1831 it was re-united with Great Britain's Postal service and ceased to have it's own Postmaster General. Under this new arrangement an Irish secretary was appointed to supervise Irelands postal services and reported directly to the Postmaster General in London. |
