SCIENCE AND ART MUSEUM IN IRELAND.

HC Deb 28 March 1889 vol 334 c1030

DR. TANNER

asked the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether any final determination had been come to, and under what circumstances the visitors of the Science and Art Museum in Ireland were to be permitted or called upon to fulfil their functions; and, whether any steps had been or were being taken to obviate and annul the recent misunderstanding?

THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE, COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL ON EDUCATION (Sir W. HART DYKE,) Kent, Dartford

The visitors of the Science and Art Museum in Dublin are, and always have been, permitted, and called upon, and given every facility to perform all the functions imposed upon them by the Science and Art Museum Act of 1877, and the agreement of 1881, made in accordance therewith. The Lord President will, I may add, endeavour to recognize the position of the visitors to the fullest extent compatible with the limits I have mentioned.
