HC Deb 14 August 1893 vol 16 c117
MR. A. O'CONNOR (Donegal, E.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he can now state whether he will cause investigation to be made as to the estates which are liable under the 219th section of the Act of Settlement for the maintenance of a second College in the University of Dublin?

*SIR J. T. H1BBERT

Some information as to the estates which are liable under the 219th section of the Act of Settlement for the maintenance of a second College in the University of Dublin may be obtained at the Public Record Office, Dublin. Such of the proceedings of the Commissioners under the Act of Settlement as are extant are at the Public Record Office in Dublin, and there are two series of rentals at the same office containing the quit rents which were imposed on the estates dealt with by the Act of Settlement—one of which series of rentals is dated 1692, the other 1706. The Government cannot undertake any investigation on the subject.
