§ MR. DILLONOn behalf of the hon. Member for South Donegal I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Committee of National and Ancient Monuments in connection with the Office of Public Works, Ireland, is still in existence; and, if so, whether he will give the names of those serving on the Committee and by whom they have been appointed, also the date of the last monthly meeting of the Committee and when it is proposed that the Committee shall meet again?
§ MR. HANBURYThe Committee is still in existence. Its members are: The Chairman of the Board of Works, or in his absence a Commissioner; the Inspector of National and Ancient Monuments, Lord Walter Fitzgerald, and Mr. J. R. Garstin, who are appointed by the Royal Irish Academy; Dr. P. Wright, who is appointed by the Royal Society of Antiquaries, Ireland. The last-mentioned Society had a second representative on the Committee until the end of last year, when he resigned, and his place has not yet been filled. The last meeting of the Committee took place on the 6th December last, and the next will be held on the 4th of next month.
