HC Deb 12 May 1904 vol 134 cc1182-3
MR. MOONEY (Dublin Co., S.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if the Treasury, when making the appointment of architect for the proposed new buildings of the College of Science, Dublin, consulted with the Board of Works, Ireland, and the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction; and, if so, did these bodies, or either of them, suggest that an Irish architect should be employed for this work.

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

I have already stated that the responsibility for this appointment rests with the Board of Treasury; and I am unable to add anything further as to the selection.

In reply to a further Question, Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH said communications passed between the different Departments on the subject, but the Treasury accepted full responsibility for the appointment.

MR. MOONEY

I shall put another Question on this.
