HC Deb 15 February 1897 vol 46 c391
MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM (Cork County, N.E.)

I beg to ask the First Commissioner of Works whether he will direct that the Abbey of Bridgetown, at Castletownroche, in the county of Cork, be added to the list of those Irish ruins that come under his supervision for the prevention of total decay, this splendid specimen of fourteenth century ecclesiastical architecture being sadly in need of preservation?

MR. HANBURY

The matter will be brought before the Committee consisting of representatives of the Royal Irish Academy and Royal Society of Antiquaries, Ireland, who are good enough to assist the Board of Works with their advice on these questions.
