§ MR. ERRINGTONasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether the Recommendation, No. 22, in the Report of the Dublin University Commission, 1853, that—
The auditor of the College should he appointed by the Visitors, and that an audited balance sheet and statement of the income and expenditure of the College should be published annually,has ever been carried out; and, if so, whether there is any objection to have the annual balance sheets and statements of income and expenditure from the date of the Commission to the present time laid before the House?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH, in reply, said, the Recommendation alluded to was accepted in a modified form by the Crown, and was included in Her Majesty's Letter of the 8th year of Her reign. The auditor, who was formerly appointed by the Provost and Senior Fellows, was now appointed subject to the approval of the visitors. He knew of no objection to producing the Papers excepting their voluminous character and the time that would be occupied in their preparation Perhaps the hon. Member would communicate with him privately on the subject.
