§ Mr. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he can now state approximately what is the sum to be spent respectively on the College of Science and on Government Offices in Dublin under the new Bill.
(Answer.) The purchase of the various interests in the portion of the site remaining to be acquired is roughly estimated to cost about £30,000. It is not possible to apportion this sum between the college and the new offices. The remainder of the sum taken in the Bill is for the College of Science. The cost of adapting the existing houses to the purpose of offices is estimated at £9,500, but this sum is provided in the Irish Works Vote, and forms no part of the £225,000 included in the Bill.
