§ MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick's)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Government intend to found a school and workshop in Dublin for the blind; and whether, in view of the fact that such institutions are now working in several cities of England and Scotland and in Belfast, the authorities will take such measures as may enable the blind to become self-supporting citizens?
MR. J. MORLEYVarious projects for ameliorating the condition, not only of the blind, but of the deaf and dumb, have come before me since I have been in Office, but I am unable to announce any intention such as that suggested in the question.
