§ SIR T. G. ESMONDE (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether a number of objects of art are being removed from the Dublin Museum by the Science and Art Museum at South Kensington; and if so, for what reason; and whether, in view of the expense incurred by the Dublin Museum in providing for the exhibition of those objects, they will be allowed to remain in Dublin.
§ * THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL OF EDUCATION (Sir J. GORST,) Cambridge UniversityI can assure the hon. Member that no objects of art are being or have been removed from the Dublin Museum except those referred to in my answer last week.
