HC Deb 29 March 1898 vol 55 c1235
MR. HORACE PLUNKETT

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will lay upon the Table a copy of the memorial addressed by the Royal Irish Academy to the Lord Lieutenant on the subject of the gold antiquities recently found in Ireland, and subsequently purchased by the British Museum, and the correspondence relating thereto?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND (Mr. GERALD W. BALFOUR,) Leeds, Central

The memorial referred to is not a document of such a nature as to be properly laid on the Table of the House. I will be happy, however, to show the memorial as well as the correspondence connected with it to my right hon. Friend if he so desires.
