§ MR. KENDAL O'BRIEN (Tipperary, Mid)I beg to ask the President of the Board of Agriculture whether he is aware that the new series of ordnance maps for Ireland, to the scale of one inch to the mile, which have marked upon them the rural district boundaries, are not on sale at Messrs. Hodges, Figgis, and Company, Dublin, or at Mr. Charles Fitzgerald's, Clonmel, both of whom have been appointed by the Ordnance Department as agents for the sale of ordnance maps; and, seeing that both of these agents have applied to the Ordnance Department for the maps, and have been unable to procure them, whether he will cause instructions to be 21 issued to the Ordnance Department to issue these maps to these agents without further delay.
§ MR. HANBURYThese maps were originally prepared for the use of the Irish Government only, for the purpose of the Local Government Act; but within the last few days authority has been obtained from the Treasury to issue them to the general public, and that shall be done without delay.
