Please could someone tell me
who is the postulator for the 42 Irish Martyrs-
Including ANGELUS of St. JOSEPH (George Halley)

It is remarkably and unnecessarily difficult to find out this kind of basic information about the 42 martyrs. According to the website of the Hagiography Circle, the postulator is listed as Msgr Ciaran O'Carroll of Dublin. http://newsaints.faithweb.com/martyrs/Ireland02.htm

Hope that is of some help. Angelus is no 20 on their list of the 42.
