§ MR. ARTHUR MOORE (Londonderry)I beg to ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland whether the Judicial Commissioners have yet agreed to a scheme for the schools in Roxboro' Road, Limerick whether the Education Commissioners had any right, in view of the Act of George III., to let these premises to their present occupant, and is this occupant bound by the terms of his letting to keep the premises in repair; and whether any repairs have been executed since the report from Mr. Mitchell, architect to the Commissioners, 245 in which he stated they had not been repaired for many years.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURThe powers of the Commissioners with regard to the endowment of these schools expired at the end of 1897, and have not since been renewed. The Commissioners have not, therefore, agreed to a. scheme. The reply to both inquiries contained in the second paragraph is, according to my opinion, in the affirmative. No repairs have been executed by the Commissioners, and I am not aware whether any have been carried out by the present tenant, the Rev. Mr. Gregg. He is bound, however, to keep the premises in good repair, as he received them.
