§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, what is the cause of delay in carrying out the promises made to have the ruins of Mels Cathedral, in Ardagh, County Longford, inspected, with a view to their preservation by the Board of Works; and, when such inspection will be undertaken?
§ * MR. HANBURYThe inspection referred to has not yet been carried out in consequence of other works being in more pressing need of attention, but it will be made as soon as the inspector is free.
