HC Deb 27 July 1903 vol 126 c335
MR. MOONEY (Dublin Co., S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he will now state, as promised, the name of the architect to whom it is proposed to entrust the drawing up of the plans for the new buildings contemplated by the Public Offices (Dublin) Bill.

MR. ELLIOT

My promise was that I would attach great weight to a joint recommendation of the Board of Public Works and of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction. I have not yet received a joint recommendation from those Departments, but hope to do so when the Bill becomes law.

MR. JAMES O'CONNOR (Wicklow, W.)

Shall we have the name of the architect before the House rises?

MR. ELLIOT

I am awaiting the joint recommendation of the two bodies I have referred to.
