§ MR. WILLIAM LECKY (Dublin University)I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether a superintendent of the Irish Antiquities in the Science and Art Museum, Dublin, has yet been appointed; and, if not, when it is expected that such an appointment will be made; and if he can state how much of the grant in aid, amounting to £300, which is placed on the votes for the Dublin Science and Art Museum and National Library, it is proposed to allocate to the section of the Museum devoted to Irish antiquities, or whether the increase of the vote by a sum of £900 over the last financial year is meant to be expended on adequately displaying the Museum of Antiquities transferred from the Royal Irish Academy's house?
§ THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (Sir JOHN GORST, Cambridge University)The Committee of Council hope to be able to announce the appointment at an early date. No part of the sum of £300 is separately allocated to the Irish Antiquities Section. None of the grant can be spent on the structure of the Museum.
