HC Deb 26 February 1892 vol 1 cc1333-4

Order for Second Reading read.

Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Bill be now read a second time."

(3.9.) MR. SEXTON: (Belfast, W.)

This Bill proposes to take down St. Mary's Catholic Church at Belfast, and to this the Bishop and clergy object, unless they have a site for the re-erection of the church secured to them by the promoters of the Bill. To-day I have received a letter from the solicitor to the promoters, to the effect that an arrangement has been arrived at with the engineer of the scheme by which a site shall be provided for another church, supposing it is required to take down the existing church, and upon this undertaking, that, if possible, site No. 1 shall be available, or, if that is not possible, then site No. 2, I offer no opposition to the Bill.

Motion agreed to.

Bill read a second time, and committed.
