HC Deb 18 June 1900 vol 84 cc295-6
MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that there is a want of employment in Dublin, and whether he can state when the new buildings for the College of Science and Art will be commenced in that city.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

I am not aware that there is any special want of employment in Dublin at present; and as regards the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my right hon. friend the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture to a somewhat similar question put to him on the 26th March,* to which reply I have nothing to add.
