§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Foreign Office is prepared to give every facility for the publication, in a succinct form, of all the special Reports about Irish trade which are now appearing from 722 time to time in the Consular Reports; and whether the Department of Agriculture will on the completion of these Consular Reports for 1905, undertake the publication in one volume of those special references to Irish trade in consequence of the widespread interest they have aroused in Ireland and with a view to stimulating the trade of Ireland with foreign countries.
MR. BRYCEThe Department of Agriculture will consider whether extracts relating to Irish trade taken from the Consular Reports referred to can, with advantage, be collated and reprinted with the Reports on the imports and exports of Ireland for 1905 which will be issued by the Department in the course of this year.
