MR. FIELDI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the building operations on the Curragh Camp are to be still further delayed; whether, in view of the want of employment in the locality, he would insist on the progress of the works, as previously promised by his Department; and whether the War Office intend to use Killaloe slates in Irish buildings?
§ * MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANPreparations for a further contract for works at the Curragh arc being made; but as the contract will be a very large one, the necessary plans and other documents will not be completed for some time to come. As regards the use of Killaloe slates, I have nothing to add to my answer to the hon. Member for North Tipperary on the 26th ultimo.
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI cannot say; the specifications are now being prepared.
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI will do all I can.
