§ MR. J. J. CLANCY (Dublin County, N.)On behalf of the honourable Member for East Clare, I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he has taken any further steps to trace the intermediaries in the transaction by which the treasure trove recently discovered in Ireland was sold to the British Museum, and, if so, will he state the result?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.No further evidence has been obtained, duo to the fact that the action of the police has been suspended pending negotiations now in progress between the last vendor, the Treasury, the Royal Irish Academy, and the Irish Government, which I hope will lead to a satisfactory result.
