HC Deb 04 July 1861 vol 164 c293
MR. WHITESIDE

said, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether a Memorial from the Citizens of Dublin, praying that improvements should be made in the Phoenix Park, has been submitted to the authorities; and whether it is intended to devote the sums obtained by the grazing of the Park in embellishing the same, increasing the roads throughout its limits, and rendering the Park more agreeable and accessible to the Public?

MR. CARDWELL

said, the Memorial in question had been received by his noble Friend, the Lord Lieutenant, and was by him forwarded to the Treasury, with a request that it might be favourably considered. No answer had yet been received from the Treasury, but he believed he might state that they were in communication with the Board of Works upon the subject.
