HC Deb 12 July 1905 vol 149 cc401-2
MR. MOONEY (Dublin County, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland is he aware that Mr. Aston Webb, the English architect, when preparing the plans for the new College of Science in Dublin had overlooked the necessity of providing accommodation for the engineering school, for which school a sum of £25,000 had been ear-marked in connection with the college; and whether he will undertake that this sum will be made available for requisition which may be made upon it in connection with the present engineering school and not diverted to any other purposes.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH,) Derbyshire, W.

The engineering school is being erected on a separate and more convenient site, but the equipments of the school will be provided for in precisely the same manner as if it had been included in the main buildings of the new College of Science.

MR. MOONEY

Have not the Department been requisitioned for the money already?

MR. VICTOR CAVENDISH

I am not aware of it.

MR. MOONEY

It is so.
