Assistant Under-Secretaries for Ireland
From 1852 to 1876 the Assistant Under-Secretary was called Chief Clerk.[4] After the retirement of Marmion Savage as Clerk of the Privy Council of Ireland in 1853,[5] the Chief Clerk/Assistant Under-Secretary was ex-officio Clerk of the Privy Council of Ireland.[6]
Mark Sturgis was given the title "additional assistant under-secretary" on 3 December 1921. He came to Ireland at the same time as Cope and was not given any title at first: Anderson worried "assistant under-secretary" would offend Cope, and Warren Fisher thought "private secretary to the Lord Lieutenant" was too lowly.[22]
