§ MR. FIELDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether it will be arranged in connection with the construction of the new College of Science, Dublin, by the Board of Works, that Irish stone will be specified for use in building, and that, as far as possible, Irish material shall be used and Irish workmen employed.
§ MR. VICTOR CAVENDISHIt is not possible at this stage to come to any decision on the subject of the materials to be used in the building of the Royal College of Science, Dublin; but preference will be given to Irish material if it is in all respects equally suitable.
