HC Deb 01 May 1902 vol 107 c449
MR. T L. CORBETT (Down Co., N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Commissioners of National Education have made any recommendations as to placing the Marlborough Street College, Dublin, in a sanitary condition; and, if So, whether any steps are being taken to give effect to such recommendations.

MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. WYNDHAM)

Yes, Sir; an application was made to the Irish Government by the Commissioners in January last for a grant of public money to provide new buildings and equipment for this training college. It has not been found possible to entertain the application in connection with the Estimates for the current financial year, but the proposal will be considered with the Estimates for 1903–4.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

But is anything being done to put the house in a sanitary condition?

MR. ATKINSON

Yes, Sir.
