§ MR. PIERCE MAHONY (Meath, N.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he has succeeded in obtaining the statue of the late Thomas Davis for the Science and Art Museum in Dublin; and, if not, whether he will take further steps to obtain it?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. JACKSON,) Leeds, N.When the hon. Member put a question on this subject some time ago I understood that the statue was to be a voluntary gift. I now understand that that is not so, and that the statue, if obtained at all, must be purchased.
