HC Deb 12 July 1901 vol 97 c262
MR. FIELD

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether he can state the date of the last Geological Survey of Ireland, in which the mineral deposits are given; and whether the Government intend to afford any facilities for the development of such resources in Ireland.

SIR J. GORST

The results of the survey of the mineral districts of Ireland are embodied in the maps published during the general survey of that country between 1845 and 1887; any necessary revision of the maps as regards the mineral deposits will be considered in connection with the drift survey, which is in progress.
