CITIZENS OF EIRE
DIRECTION TO WORK
MANPOWER IXST RUCTIONS (0.C.) HAMILTON, this day. His instructions were that citizens of Eire were required to be directed to work of the highest national importance, particularly agriculture, said the manpower officer's representative, Mr. S. N. Ziman, when J. F. McCullagh appealed before the Auckland Manpower (Industrial) Committee against the manpower officer's refusal to allow him to leave the Department of Agriculture to take up work with the Works Department at Karapiro.
Appellant said he considered the Agriculture Department was taking advantage of his experience by asking him to instruct other employees at the Hall's Road vegetable scheme without extra pay. He had gone there voluntarily before the work was declared essential.
In reply to the acting-chairman, Mr. N. E. Crimp, appellant said he had no military obligations, as he was a citizen of Eire.
A representative of the Agriculture Department opposed the appeal on the grounds that there was no ploughman at Hall's Road with anything like the ability of appellant, who was also giving general instruction. The appeal was dismissed.
